About me

A man with greying, close-cropped hair looks up and to the right. He wears glasses and a green t-shirt.

I'm an IT Consultant with over 25 years experience. I worked for an international IT consultancy for 20 years before setting up as an independent contractor. Since then I've increasingly dedicated my time to supporting small and medium-sized businesses in making the best use of their IT investment.

I have a broad technology experience, ranging from IT architecture and design, through software engineering to computer networking. This breadth, coupled with the ability to pick things up quickly, means I'm able to turn my hand to most things, whether that be cabling a new office network, planning an email migration, building a website or leading a technical team.

I'm based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, placing me within easy access of Halifax, Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and surrounding towns. I am also very used to collaborating remotely, and have worked with distributed teams and remote customers nationally and internationally.

How can I help?

I'll be able to give you an indication how long this will take once I've performed my initial investigations. If I'm unable to assist directly, I'll help you find the right person who can. As I work on fixing your problem, I will keep you informed on progress via my support ticket system, and will always try to explain how to resolve the issue in future.
