Friendship put on the line at call centre services operation
2000
Overview
\"Although our careers went in different directions for many years, we always kept in touch\" said Ronald Millar about his business partner Jonathan Guthrie. It was this duo which launched Kirkcaldy- based MGT to take advantage of the booming demand for call centre services. It was after qualifying as accountants that their careers diverged. Millar moved into the venture capital industry and property development while Guthrie, after a spell abroad, joined BSkyB in the early days of satellite broadcasting. As Guthrie recalled, by 1997 both had decided that they wanted to strike out on their own. \"I wanted to do my own thing after spending seven years helping to manage Sky's subscriber management services. The property company Ronald was with had been floated and he also wanted to do something on his own.\" In October, 1997, Millar and Guthrie pitched their business plan to the venture capital industry looking for #4m. Millar recalled the response. \"It was terrible. Nobody was interested. The main problem was that we were a start-up company and those were not attractive at the time.\"
