Richard Betts thought he had earned a well-deserved retirement after leading Mettoni to a successful exit in 2010. But retirement didn’t last long. Describing it as ‘the worst thing I’ve ever done’, he returned to the industry in 2021 to launch Vizst Technology, bringing together three specialist technology businesses with a vision to build something different. Under Richard’s leadership, Vizst has become one of the UK’s fastest-growing cybersecurity and managed services providers, recognised through multiple national growth awards, industry accolades and a reputation for deep technical expertise in networking, cybersecurity and observability.
