Specifix Gibraltar

Always our pleasure to support local entrepreneurs and encourage startups in Gibraltar! 👏

Thank you Startup Grind Gibraltar for another great evening!

There was something different about last night’s event, the buzz and excitement. We now have five amazing judges confirmed, a £5,000 cash prize for the winner AND announced yesterday thanks to the support of an additional judge, a £1,000 prize for the runner up. As usual the venue was perfect, big thanks to staff and team at Sunborn Gibraltar. Mentors and startups were already gravitating towards each other and this is exactly what we hoped for. Applications are open until 31st October: https://forms.gle/XrgiWfTnUVL6Bd2M8 Every applicant will have an experience of real value, whether they get to pitch or not during the next six weeks. They will meet a mentor, gain insights and make connections that they may never have had the chance to make otherwise. It's a big project to push forward alone but so worth it, this is only the beginning! So to everyone who has joined me THANK YOU, to our mentors Steven, Jonny, Ricardo, Lianne and Candice, the startups and everyone who attended. And a special thanks to our sponsors who make this possible year after year - Gibtelecom Business, Hassans International Law Firm Ltd, Gibraltar Finance Centre, Chellaram Foundation, Specifix Gibraltar. Partners One Media & Events, Sunborn Gibraltar, Jorge Varo Regidor, Ads.gi

We know how frustrating another power cut is, bringing your systems and workday to a halt. Don’t let your business get caught out again, and explore your options for an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for your office.



You shouldn’t have to worry about lost hours because of a fault out of your control, & Specifix is here to help you maximise your productivity.



Take it from our clients whose Uninterrupted Power Supplies provided them with enough power to finish their work day yesterday. ☀️ 🖥️

🤝Thanks to Gibraltar Chronicle for the article “Addressing the latest iteration of Startup Grind on the Sunborn recently, Gibraltar-based Managed Service Provider, Specifix co-founder and CEO, Andrew Keywood provided timely advice for those considering taking the plunge and setting up a business.

Keywood – who started by “hiring a desk in someone’s office” – noted developing a simple version of a product and subsequently adding value to it was important. You can read more here https://www.chronicle.gi/sanctions-training-nuclear-power-and-startup-grind-all-in-the-business-mix/

“People say it is five times more difficult to gain a customer than to lose a customer,” said Keywood, who highlighted the usefulness of leveraging cloud-based platforms, but cautioned they were on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Keywood said: “Cost saving is something we review at Specifix all the time – it is all about time, cost and revenue.”
