Next generation Sinclair inventor
Grant Sinclair began his career in 1981 (age 9) demonstrating a suite of
Psion software applications on the Sinclair ZX81 at the 4th Personal
Computer World show, London. Later he demonstrated the Sinclair ZX
Spectrum (the best selling personal computer series in the World for
some time) to a large exhibition crowd.
He continued to work part-time for his uncle's company Sinclair Research
for several years (inventors of the worlds first pocket calculator,
worlds first low cost digital watch, worlds first pocket TV and worlds
first flat screen TV), before working for his father's company, where he
helped with electronics and introduced various computer systems and
software including Quark Express DTP (desktop publishing) and later
Alias Auto Studio CAID (computer aided industrial design) automotive
software.
As well as working for the family businesses, Grant was also involved
with other Cambridge based technology companies such as Acorn Computers
who supported Grant’s early computing in 1982 by supplying him with free
BBC Micro computers (the BBC Micro computer dominated the UK educational
computer market during the 1980s). In addition Grant was involved with
Tadpole Computers in 1988 - a Cambridge manufacturer of rugged UNIX
workstations, thin client laptops and lightweight servers.
Some of Grant’s early design work experience came about from being his
father’s design assistant, as his father designed many consumer products
including over 100 gaming consoles (together with a very early wearable
device in 1990 which was a digital watch with integrated UVB sun sensor)
for Saitek Ltd of Hong Kong.
After spending time studying business studies in Cambridge, Grant joined
his fathers business full time in 1991 as production manager and later
became sales and marketing manager, forming a small sales team who UK
manufactured and sold Sinclair products in millions of units.
Sinclair Mobile Ltd was setup by Grant Sinclair in 2012 for the sole
purpose of marketing his own inventions; a company that started trading
in 2015.
Anche il design ricorda molto i prodotti dello zio... :)
