Meet our Directors


In 2009, Paul Taylor created Azpects alongside Michael Downing. They launched the first product, EASYJoint, in January 2010. David Eastgate joined Azpects from the start back in early 2010 and together they built the company for 17 years until 2026, when they sold Azpects in favour of retirement.
