Allen Cupitt
Allen was part of a team that established the Ace group of companies in 1987, Ace Internet was formed in 1995 as a result of growing community interest in the new global network, the Internet.
With a background in heavy engineering and construction, Allen combined these skills with his interest in IT to develop new and practical ways of doing things. With a strong social conscience he guided the development of remote solar powered microwave base stations so rural remote businesses and homes could have access to modern fast reliable communications.
It is believed that Allen is the only person to have obtained a liquor license for a NSW Gaol when as president of the Rotary Club of Berrima district, opened the Berrima Corrections Centre for the now famous Gaol Break weekends.
Due to the growth and success of the business, we now have 3 offices in Newcastle, Sydney and Bowral.

Peta Armour
With over 18 years Office Administration experience, in recent years Peta has chosen to direct her focus more strongly on bookkeeping and accounting. She has had many years of exposure to general bookkeeping through family businesses, so it seemed a logical next step to progress to formal training and employment in this area.
Peta joined Ace mid 2016 as our Finance Assistant. The position entails accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll as well as some general administration tasks. It is a pleasure to have Peta as part of the Ace team!
