Entrepreneur screens adverts across Bay

By pgreaves

A CREATIVE entrepreneur has hit upon a very modern way of advertising while people are waiting in queues.

Chris Moores (pictured left) is providing digital screens to businesses across the Bay.

They are installed in places where people are waiting — post offices, fish and chip shops, tyre centres and children's play areas.

The idea is to link all the adverts via the network of screens so that businesses get exposure across the Bay.

Having worked in video editing and design Chris has seen the business venture take off.

The 24 year old, who is originally from Brixham but is now based in Torquay, set up D-V-E Media 18 months ago.

He said: "I started off with four screens and to date we have more than 20, ranging in size from 19-inch to 42-inch screens. We have taken over the screens in the Riviera Centre.

"This has proved popular and catapulted the business forward into developing further services for Torbay."

As well as providing the screens, Chris designs and builds the animated adverts.

He has now developed other business ideas, including a hotspot for Bluetooth users covering Fleet Street, The Strand and Harbour in Torquay.

He says: "I have built up a strong client base. I also work closely with charity and non-profit organisations that are beneficial to the further development of Torquay."
