I started my electronics hobby at age 8. I progressed to repairing televisions when I was 12. I used to cycle to jobs, one handed, holding my toolbox with my other hand.

Having left school, I became an electronics apprentice at Marconi for one year. I then spent three years in the civil service learning how to process bits of paper. This taught me the office side that I needed for my self-employment which I started at age 21.

I rented a shop in 1975 where I sold and repaired electronic items. In 1990 I bought my own premises.

I built my first website in 1997, long before many others. I was always top in Google type searches in those days! In 1999 I also started earning money by developing websites for others. At the same time I started to sell on QXL. It provided me with some really good business until eBay overtook it and killed it. I still have their free gift of an orange and white umbrella sitting by my front door.

In 2004 I stopped repairing equipment (I never really enjoyed this part of my business anyway), A few years later I closed the shop to customers and started selling just on eBay and directly through my own website. This I continued until 2023.

For the previous six years I have done voluntary work for charities offering training in using devices for disabled, blind and partially sighted people.

In all these years I have gained considerable knowledge in problem solving and resolving customers issues. Although I no longer need to work full time, I still wish to offer my services to those that may benefit. I also don’t need to charge a high hourly rate and am happy just to remain busy and relevant.

If you would like a good service that isn’t going to bankrupt you please try me. Also, if you want something done quickly and reliably, I can do that too. Procrastination is not one of my failings!
