Managing Director at AccentPOS
I am excited to further develop my relationship with the University of Portsmouth to support students, staff and other local businesses looking to start and scale their businesses. I really enjoy helping people to thrive in all aspects of their business careers.
Blake Powell is an experienced entrepreneur who has started, and runs, three successful UK-based businesses; a software company, a vehicle detailing company and a commercial interior fit-out company, all while acting as an advisor and mentor to other young entrepreneurs and speaking at events.
Blake’s down-to-earth, approachable personality inspires many people to reach out to him for guidance, something he very much enjoys giving.
AccentPOS, one of Blake’s companies, has achieved some amazing things — from winning the European Innovation Award in 2018 to achieving high-level strategic partnerships with international companies such as payment companies and hardware companies including PayPal and Star Micronics.
