Jurassic Vinyl's consists of two guys in Dorset with an opportunity to create an online shop and vinyl cutter.
The Beginnings
Back in 2019 Ben was out with friends and was offered a vinyl cutter some vinyl and the software. after a bit of research, Ben called up Kev and asked if he would be interested in going halves on the purchase... Both of us had dabbled and helped out family/friends and some local businesses after we purchased the cutter but hadn't really done much else beyond that as of us are in full-time professional jobs.
Fast forward to April 2020 when both Ben and Kev were furloughed as a result of the global pandemic COVID19. Like many others in the same situation, we were trying to find things to do to occupy their time whilst in a lockdown. Kev had already purchased a couple of domains Ben and Kev sat down and looked at how we could better utilise our purchase so Jurassic Vinyl's website was born 21st April 2020.

About Ben & Kev
Jurassic Vinyl's consists of two guys with a friendship going back 10 years, We originally met as leaders through Scouting and Duke of Edinburgh. From there it's been housemates, colleagues, best man, godparent and overlapping all that business partners with Jurassic Vinyl's and still doing Scouting!
Ben (on the right) is the Engineering Guru working for some of the largest marine organisations in the world! Looking after almost everything mechanical that you can find on a boat! His knowledge from that helps us keep the cogs on the cutter turning and provides the lateral thinking when cutting and making sure we can cut what Kev creates.
Kevin (on the left) is the IT Guru working in several business sectors in varying IT roles and now in IT Management was perfect for the setup of Jurassic Vinyl's. With a hint of creativity, he also is behind a lot of the artwork that goes into creating the products on the site as well as the day-to-day running (hosting, security, upkeep and upgrades).
