For all things Apple, including installs, fixes and advice on the best apps for your business, get in touch. I also provide repairs and tune-ups for Windows users. And design the odd website.

The Whitstable Computer Company offers friendly, quality support and maintenance for Mac and PC users in the North Kent area. Apple specialist, we offer a range of services, including data migration, troubleshooting, optimisation, setup, installation and repairs for both Mac and Windows users.
Offsite Support: If it is more convenient, we can pick up your computer and carry out the repair or upgrade at our premises in Whitstable. We will deliver it back to you once the job is complete.
PC-to-Apple migration: We can migrate you and your data from a PC to a Mac. We support this with training to get you up and running on Mac OSX.
Training: Whether you are new to Mac or just want to get more from your Apple, we can tailor training sessions to suit you.
Support & Maintenance: Slow PC? Erratic behaviour? We carry out full support and maintenance for your Windows PC. Virus, malware and spyware removal, registry cleaning, streamlining, errors investigated and fixed.
Installation & Setup: We know it can be troublesome getting an Apple device working on a Windows machine, so leave it to us to set it up correctly.
I'm based on the sunny Kent coast in Whitstable and I primarily work out of my purpose-built shed office.
I worked for the BBC for 12 years, leaving at the end of 2010. Originally joining them as a subtitler, I moved into software development and trained as a development manager, then became a PRINCE2-certified project manager. As a PM, I managed medium-sized projects, with budgets often exceeding £250k. I specialised in Windows software development, but also trained in the design and implementation of server architecture.
Whilst working for the BBC, I completed a range of Microsoft-approved training courses. I offered desktop and server support in a busy broadcast and IT critical environment. I migrated users across networks and managed complex training and testing plans.
An Apple user since 1995, I studied and trained as an Apple Support Professional for Desktop and Server Systems. I served as an Apple advisor on a handful of projects and bids. After leaving the BBC, my first job at The Whitstable Company Company was designing and installing a Final Cut Pro video editing server environment for a production company in London.
