It's not uncommon to have plenty of household repairs on the list, but tracking down reliable fixers isn't always a walk in the park. Conor Lyons, however, has taken up the mantle with a new online task-matching platform that he co-founded, and aims to bring together customers and handymen through a secure and efficient avenue: TaskMatch.

The idea behind the ethos of TaskMatch came while Lyons was running his own AV company, which he has done both here and during his time in Australia.
