Cliff Stanford, who died 24 February 2022, aged 67, was a British internet entrepreneur from Southend-on-Sea, and the co-founder of Demon Internet, the first Internet Service Provider in the United Kingdom for individual subscribers.

In the 1990s, he embarked on a single-minded quest to design and build a service that could be accessible and affordable for all. The outcome was Demon Internet, which went on to become the largest ISP in the U.K., due in no small part to its low subscription cost – ten pounds per month.

Demon went on to be purchased by Scottish Telecom, a subsidiary of the private utility company Scottish Power.

Of his new-found and resulting wealth , Cliff said: "There's no such thing as enough money…I like having money in my pocket but there's no fun winning it on the football pools, the thrill for me is by making things work and making big business deals."

I'm not proud.
