About us

Why we’re here

We have a very simple way of looking at software deployment and systems integration. Our plea to any business who may be tempted to dabble in something they’re not fully up-to-speed with is this: if you can’t get something right, then please leave it to someone who can…

Between us, we have more than 60 years’ experience working in big organisations across the public and private sectors. We know first-hand what it takes to get a deployment right – and we also know the sheer frustration that can stem from botched integrations and implementations that simply are not fit for purpose.

At Goldstar, we’re committed to delivering a better way forward. We are more than CRM Consultants, Advanced Zoho Partners or Digital Transformation specialists. For a start, we’re not in the business of ‘selling’ software. By getting to know your people and your business, we work with you hand-in-hand to get to the bottom of what you need – and not those vague offerings you may have been told that you need.

Expertise, honesty – along with the appreciation of some fun along the way: these are what make us a one-stop-shop for business transformation.

Here’s who we are

Paul Goldsmith

I'm the director of the business and have been in the IT industry for almost 20 years. Working from base IT support to architecting complex systems, integrating CRMs and more. I love most sports, gaming, pizza and most of all spending time with my partner and three children.
Vicki Goldsmith

Having always worked in a financial role, I qualified with the AAT in 2011 and now specialise in migrating company accounts from one software to another. I enjoy family time with my partner, baby daughter and two step children and love cooking.

As a Marketing Manager, I love the challenge of solving problems and puzzles. My work is founded on building open, trusted, relationships to deliver effective, team-driven results. Away from the office I‘m still focused on creative problem solving and teamwork, I have to be as I’m a Bassist in a blues rock band and enjoy being a Dad to a very energetic, inquisitive daughter!
David McMurdo

I'm an ambitious & enthusiastic developer, if I don't know how something works my solution is always to strip it down to work out how it works and then put it back together even stronger than it was before. In my spare time I enjoy taking on ambitious and sometimes slightly wild adventures! I have recently completed a bungee jump and a mountain climb, and I've completed multiple cycling challenges.

Although I love problem solving and learning about new technology and development, an ideal Saturday away from work would start with a long walk by the beach in the sunshine ending up at my favourite coffee shop for a pot of tea and an hour or two with my latest thriller novel and a brownie. Followed by an afternoon catching up on Netflix box sets before ordering in (as I can't cook!) pizza with friends or Ghormeh Sabzi with family!
John Kakkasseri

I've been involved with technology as a profession for over a decade, but it’s woven through my entire life. I'm a gadget geek, always chasing the latest tech buzz. When I'm not weaving magic with code, I'm on a quest for the perfect travel snapshot. I love exploring new places and capturing memories through my lens. Life's a journey, and I'm here to make it a bit more tech-savvy and a lot more adventurous!
