The Beginning

It was 1969 when Mike Edinburgh, Founder of BSG, was working for NCR as a technician in their London office. Attracted to the job by curiosity of the unknown and with a love of working with his hands, Mike was on the leading edge of technology back when only large corporations and governments had access to computers, punch tape records were still used for inputting data and floppy disks wouldn’t be invented for another 2 years.

An adventurer at heart, Mike had visited Gibraltar a few times before while on his road trips around Europe, so when a notice card was pinned up looking for volunteers to support NCR’s banking clients in Gibraltar moving to the “new” decimal system of money (away from 12 pence per shilling and 20 shillings per pound), he jumped at the chance to set off on a new voyage. It was in the summer of ’69 that Mike brought the first ever computer to Gibraltar, and with it, the very beginnings of what would become Gibraltar’s digital revolution.

After 10 years, and with the improvement of transport links, NCR decided to close the Gibraltar satellite office, but Mike wasn’t ready to leave. He’d brought the first windsurf board to our shores, competed in local sailing tournaments and made his home here. Mike had a tough decision to make. Should he go and keep his job in London, or stay, and take a risk? In his mind, it wasn’t much of a choice. He negotiated, pulled together his savings and bought NCR’s local assets, incorporating Business Services Gibraltar Limited in February 1979.

With a mission to help Gibraltar-based businesses leverage new technologies and advise on how these could revolutionise the way people work, Mike started BSG – and we haven’t stopped since.
