CEO
Will Pemble Acquires Web.com [September 16,
2004]
Purchases
firm from parent company; planning begun for next phase
of company’s growth
BETHEL,
Connecticut, September 16, 2004 — Web.com, a leading
Web hosting and services provider, announced today that
the company’s CEO, Will Pemble, has purchased
the firm from its parent company, Web Services Co. of
Redondo Beach, California. The amicable transfer of
ownership allows Web.com to concentrate on streamlining
business processes and expanding its Web services portfolio
to meet the needs of an ever changing market.
Web
Services Co. provided Web.com with financing, human-resources
support and legal service; Pemble has run the successful
business from its Connecticut headquarters since he
became CEO in 1999.
When
asked why he decided to purchase the internet firm Pemble
states, “Since I took this job in 1999, Web.com
has been a labor of love. I'm thrilled with the opportunity
to run the company independently along with a team that
is the core of our success story. My best - and perhaps
only - skill is the ability to surround myself with
talented and motivated people. All day, every day, they
make it look easy."
Pemble
was asked about new offerings in the pipeline, “We've
got a few cool deals cooking that will be of tremendous
value to our ever-growing customer base. Among the upcoming
changes are all-new Reseller and Affiliate programs,
and an expansion of our Domain Registration service
to provide unprecedented levels of service and functionality."
Having led three previous Internet companies
through every phase of a successful business lifecycle,
Will Pemble draws on two decades of diverse experience
with Internet and eBusiness development, achieving rapid
success through innovative business strategies.
