About Us: The History of Eddsport
From Little AcornsFrom Little Acorns...

2000
Eddsport was launched by Eddie Hall in January 2000 as one half of a family website - the other half belonging to his father, Richard, who later launched his own Grindham Website under the guidance of Eddie. The Eddsport website started out as a catalogue of motor racing champions from a wide range of categories.

2001
Eddsport took a step forward in 2001; becoming an independent website. Using the resources available at top web design company, Frontmedia, Eddsport Technologies was formed and the Eddsport Motorsport Library was re-designed and re-catalogued.

2002
With founder Eddie Hall making his long awaited return to racing in 2002, development on the Motorsport Library took a back seat as the Official Eddie Hall website was launched by Eddsport Technologies. This website proved to be a huge success due to the popularity of the young racing driver.

2003
At the start of the year, development work started to rebuild the Motorsport Library and redesign the site. However, with the downsizing of Frontmedia, Eddsport Technologies branched out on its own and launched Eddsport-Web4Sport, a company offering template driven sites to the sports industry.

2004
The Web4Sport idea was sold to the award-winning web software development company Datapartners, who subsequently created the Web4Sport brand. Eddsport Technologies took charge of all technical development for the company. The Eddsport Motorsport Library was re-launched with its new design but an incomplete new database - which is to this day awaiting input!

2005
Eddsport Technologies poured all of its resources into the Web4Sport brand, backing the successful championship campaigns of Eddie Hall with IMSD Racing, and the team's junior driver, Seth Scott-Deuchar and a number of football teams. As well as this, Eddsport Technologies also began expnasion of its Library into other niche markets after the unprecedented success of the final installment of The Kart Wars Trilogy.

2006
Riding on the back of the success of the Kart Wars Trilogy, the Star Wars Library was formed, along with an affiliation with two internet dominators, Amazon and Google. Eddsport Technologies also launched the ColdFusion Library under a new software development division, EddSoft, which caters for all in-house software development.

2007
Continuing its growth into niche markets, Eddsport took over the waning interest of the Web4Sport product and, used as a beta platform for Datapartners Projects, started rebuilding it as a "MySpace for Sport". Another beta project was the Blahwagon Blog site.
