Why I Launched 360 reveal: Bringing spaces to life virtually
Step inside a modern timber-clad lodge, where natural light and clean design create a warm, welcoming retreat.
In early 2025, I found myself at one of life’s crossroads. I was seriously considering a move abroad, no doubt influenced by watching one too many episodes of A Place in the Sun. While researching property in Madeira, something struck me: good photography was rare, and floorplans were often missing. But what surprised me most was the complete absence of 360° virtual tours.
Estate agents offered to film quick walkarounds on their phones and WhatsApp them, but for an international market, that wasn’t enough. If you were interested in a property there, the expectation was simple: book a flight and see it in person. So I did!

That trip sparked a bigger realisation: it wasn’t just Madeira that was behind on immersive property marketing, the UK was, too. I started discussing the idea with my friend Dave Fowler, who also happened to be at a career crossroads. Dave’s background is in professional photography, call centre management, and SEO. We’ve been friends since 2017 when we launched other online ventures, Dave’s being in publishing, my own being lovely hands.
One cold, rainy Friday in February, over many cups of coffee and tea, we agreed: this was the shared business idea we’d both been waiting for.
One Vision, 2 separate businesses
While Dave and my backgrounds are very different, they’re completely complementary.
I bring years of experience in sales and account management, having represented some of the biggest brands in beauty and healthcare. My strengths lie in consumer focus, customer service, problem-solving, and genuinely understanding what people need.
Dave brings the tech know-how: photography skills, digital tools, and optimisation strategies to get content performing online.
We’d both long wanted to run our own businesses, frustrated with corporate structures and the limits they can place on creativity. All we needed was the right opportunity, and thanks to that spontaneous property search, we found it in 360 virtual tours.
Since February, we’ve been supporting each other through research, training, equipment testing, and brand building. And now, in July 2025, we’re officially launching our separate 360° businesses.

Why I’m Passionate About This Work
When I was looking at property in Madeira, I wanted more information before I booked that plane, and I know I’m not alone in that. Today’s customers love researching online. Whether it’s a big investment like a property, a high-ticket item, or finding the perfect venue for an event, people want to explore their options on their own terms, at a time and place that suits them.
360 Virtual Tours allow users to do exactly that. They step inside a space, virtually, and look around as if they’re there in person. It’s an tangible experience, all the more valuable because the sense of space is so accurate. Video and 2D photo’s can be manipulated to make rooms look bigger than they are, potentially leading to a disappointing visit, a waste of time. When done well, a tour builds interest and helps customers make confident decisions.
I’ve seen firsthand how powerful this technology can be. The 360° photos genuinely bring a space to life in a way that still images or even video can’t match. That’s why I’m excited to offer this to businesses: because in sales, I’ve always believed in doing the right thing for the customer and exceeding expectations.
