From 30 Years in IT to Fixing Email Deliverability

Sam Fickling spent over 30 years building a career in IT consulting before founding Maximum Email. His inspiration came from personal experience — struggling with his own email deliverability issues and realising just how complex, and how overlooked, this field really is.

That experience shaped how Maximum Email works today: technical expertise, delivered in a way business owners can actually understand and act on. Sam's focus isn't on selling more email tools or subscriptions — it's on helping organisations navigate deliverability challenges so more of their emails land in the inbox, not the spam folder.

Maximum Email is proudly a small, hands-on team based in New Zealand. When you work with Sam, you're working directly with the person who does the analysis, writes the report, and walks you through the fix.

"We only reach out — or take on a client — when we know we can deliver a significant, measurable improvement."
— Sam Fickling, Founder
