Sheryl saw the challenges that arose in SME businesses from supporting employees who were not always co-located; no standardised way of working, multiple systems and no understanding of how the technology could help in daily workflow. Not to mention the stress, long hours and inefficiencies that arose from juggling different systems, across different time zones and enabling everyone to connect, collaborate and communicate safely and ensuring the owner slept at night.
She started the business at the kitchen table of the house she shares with her hubby and their dog Buddy. Sheryl wanted to redefine what the provision of tech services could look like. Grey suits, techno jargon solutions that didn’t make your working or personal life better. Our customers deserved to work with a modern technology company who put people and purpose first rather the old way of investing in IT which often meant taking a leap of faith.
From those humble beginnings to now. Our independence is important. A genuine award winning team fuelled by the ambitious spirit and care that independence brings. We get to solve more and more problems for some of the most exciting companies from SMEs to Enterprise organisations, in Energy, Renewables, Wind, Pharmaceuticals and Legal to name a few helping them to innovate and transform using the power of Microsoft 365 and accelerating them towards a better more sustainable future of work and living.
Everyone can say they are special but like a very rare Macallan whisky (well we are a Scottish company) our customers keep reminding us we are.

Hi, I’m Sheryl, I’m the founder and CEO of Appetite for Business.
My joy has always been in seeing the success companies can achieve when the technical is merged with the human and putting the employee experience first.
With three decades industry experience helping organisations to implement collaborative learning solutions, I was remote working before it was even a thing. I’m committed to customer excellence and a dedicated advocate for community, social and environmental impact.
I am on the Membership Advisory Board for the Learning and Performance Institute and also the Digital Innovation Chair at Aberdeen Renewables Group. I’ve been recognised as a leading UK Female Leader with a number of industry awards.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our chocolate labrador Buddy and we love exploring hidden spots in the UK in our van.
Hi, I’m Andy, Appetite for Businesss Technical Director.

I play a fundamental strategic role in actively engaging with both existing and new customers to unlock the full value of their Microsoft 365 environment. I have a huge commitment to fostering a customer-first approach, collaborating with customers to align Appetite for Business’s technical services with their unique current needs. This ensures they form a solid technical foundation on which to align future AI needs.
Outside of work, I’m a keen supporter of my local football team, attending matches whenever I can. I also love getting out and about climbing up the Munros (mountains over 3000ft in height) around Scotland.
