WELCOME TO SIENNA

SIENNA is software, a baby that will evolve from an idea, into networking business software the likes of which have not yet been imagined.

My name is Nick Ray Ball, British, born in 1971 Belgravia, London, attended Glyn School in Surrey and Reigate college of art. Became proficient at photography, design and computer graphics.  In the ‘90s I was producing websites, catalogues, posters, music and record sleeves for various organisations whilst trading goods as an aside.   In 2001 I took my skills to Cape Town, South Africa and set up “capevillas.com” and later “experienceafrica .com”, I am still the proprietor of both companies. I have taken risks at times and pushed every penny I could into development.

One of the biggest hurdles myself and my staff have come up against time and time again is the fact that there is no compressive software directed at the travel/holiday industry. We have frustratingly laboured with practically all of the best “general office” programmes to no avail.  I know exactly what is necessary for such a programme but do not have the investment to build it. I have a unique skill set, crossing creativity and understanding of software to knowledge of the cut and thrust of business. For me creating this software is simple, crystal clear and very exciting. I am amazed that no one has already created it or something like it. I have researched and juggled all the elements and the deeper I dig the results become more and more attractive  The Potential is huge and the money to be made is massive.

I am therefore presenting you with a synopsis of my brainchild we shall call “SIENNA”, I think you will find the concept very exciting.

My peers describe SIENNA as “FACE BOOK for business” I like to consider her “THE GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM”. Fun user friendly software.  The preferred browser for e-mail and daily life. I have the perfect concept, and the understanding of how to develop this software. Branding, customer service and cutting edge financial tools will be connected to a shared central database where users can buy from each other at a business to business rate. With products automatically added to their websites at the touch of a button, SIENNA taking a commission from every sale.   Much like AMEX but with a considerably higher cut for SIENNA and zero marketing costs. An evolution in economics. But in truth no one has even touched the surface of what can be done by one SIENNA module, let alone all 3 combined. 

I have chosen VIRGIN for admiration of Sir Richard & personal ambition.  Plus it’s your experience at launching new companies, good business management & experience.   Also, connections to VIRGIN ATLANTIC, VIRGIN MONEY and VIRGIN HOLIDAYS will be of huge benefit.



With VIRGIN as a partner and an investment of about $2,500,000 SIENNA will be profitable in 13 months and make around $150,000,000 profit within 6 years just in the niche travel industry. There are no reasons why this software won’t work for most, if not all other industries. Sienna’s real earning potential is far far greater. I’m not asking for any particularly large personal advances.  Eagerness and quick responses will be far more appreciated.

Sienna Please find below in bold, extracts from my letter of introduction. I’d wish to send the full introduction and a 6 year projected financial spreadsheet, to the UK Virgin new enterprise committee mentioned in Sir Richards’s book. When my letter of introduction is approved for further consideration and confidentiality assured, I will present a detailed financial analysis, business & marketing plans alongside technical information in a nice and glossy brochure for your convenience.
