About Us
Network consultants in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Perth who work alongside your team
Our Story
Bob Popcorn International started with a frustration most businesses share: technology should make your team's job easier, but too often it feels like the opposite. Systems grow more complex, costs creep up, and the gap between what your technology can do and what your business actually needs never seems to close. We saw an opportunity to change that.
We decided to work differently. Instead of delivering to teams, we work alongside them. We sit in your meetings, understand your constraints, and co-design solutions that your people can actually own and operate. When we leave, your team can run the network without us. That's the whole point.
Today, with a presence in Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Perth, we partner with teams across Australia on everything from network redesigns and cloud migrations to operational process improvement. The engagement model is always the same: listen first, design it together, and make sure your team can run it long after the project is done.
Our Mission & Values
We exist to give businesses network infrastructure they can rely on, and to leave the team able to run it themselves.
Partnership
We sit in your meetings, learn your constraints, and stay on the hook for the result. Your problem is our problem until it's solved.
Reliability
We build networks your business can depend on around the clock. That means designing for failure from the start, so one dead switch or carrier outage does not take you down.
Innovation
We keep up with where networking is heading, but we recommend what fits your situation. Sometimes that is the new thing; often it is the boring, proven one.
Excellence
We do the kind of work we would want to inherit: clean configs, honest diagrams, and decisions we can explain. Your team has to live with it after we leave.
Our Team
The engineers and project managers who will actually be in the room with your team.
Ewan Macpherson
Founder & Lead Consultant
With over 15 years in enterprise networking, Ewan has seen plenty of designs handed down from a distance and watched them fail on contact with the people who run them. He works in the room instead.
Technical Team
Network Engineers
Engineers who embed with your team and bring hands-on expertise across routing, switching, wireless, security, and cloud networking.
Project Office
Project Managers
Project managers who keep things moving, communicate clearly, and make sure your team is always in the loop.
Why Teams Choose Us
Most of it comes down to staying close to your team and finishing what we start.
We Respect Your Time
Tight project management keeps things on track, so your engineers can stay on their day jobs instead of chasing our progress.
We Bring Experience
Decades of combined experience across enterprise networking, cloud, and security — applied to your specific challenges.
We Start With Your Goals
We start from what the business is trying to do and work back to the technology. Nothing gets picked because it is interesting; every decision traces to something you actually need.
We Stay Until It Works
We do not disappear at go-live. We stay until your team can run what we built on their own, without us on speed dial.
