My career begin in 1992 as a trainee PC Support Technician at P&P Micro Distributors Ltd in Haslingden, Lancashire. Supporting around 1000 staff over several locations nationally I developed my skills through training and practical experience.
In 1997 I was transferred to a new subsidiary of P&P called Acuma Solutions Ltd as Operations Support Technician where I set up and maintained the core IT systems, network and communications infrastructure.
Acuma relocated to South Manchester in 2001 where I became an IT Support Consultant. During this time I studied for and passed several Microsoft exams and became a Microsoft Certified Professional and Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator.
I left full time employment in December 2007 and am now a self-employed web designer, freelance IT Consultant and also offer PC repair and maintenance through Keep Your PC Happy.
