Entrepreneur on the Rise
Entrepreneur
on the Rise
As CEO and founder of what was once
an attempted elevator pitch, Steve Webb is now a successful entrepreneur with
not only one successful business, but a second on the rise. METROPOL print was
once a self-run business that consisted of Webb himself walking through the
city dealing with all the posters plastered on polls. 16 years later it has
grown to be an actual business, where he oversees 25 employees and 5
storefronts.
When
first starting out Webb didn't know what the outcome would be, he pictured designing
posters for bands and nightclubs, but when he began listening to what the client’s
needs were, he adjusted accordingly. Because of this, Metropol has grown with
such success that they now have some of the best equipment on the island. “We
are island owned and operated, which really means something to businesses on
not only Vancouver island but the gulf islands as well” says Steve Webb when
asked about expanding. They have such a strong following and base in the island
it’s become a crucial part of their identity, and not something they are keen
to change.
Since Steve and his team have been
working together for so long he trusts their opinions above most. But when they
weren't on board with his newest idea he found another way. Bringing in a
partner, Webb has been able to create Quarzars Arcade. While it is only just
starting, they have seen great success so far and have begun to lend machines
out to bars across Victoria. Between the two businesses, Steve Webb has his
hands full, but is enjoying the challenge nonetheless.
