Who we are
We like our customers to know the REAL us.
We're not a big corporate organisation that just cares about margins, we're a small, professional and caring company whose main priority is to support local schools. Below is some information about each of us, so you get a feel for who we really are. All our staff have regular Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) checks.

Stuart L
Job title: Computer Network Engineer
Joined Beebug: December 2004
Likes: Music Festivals – No Glastonbury next year – what am I going to do???
Running – I’ve just taken up running and joined a running club, it seems that having legs like matchsticks has other benefits (besides cleaning your projector filters) as I seem to have taken to it like a gazelle to …er…running.
Films – anything off the beaten track from the kung foo comedy of Stephen Chow to revelling in the terrible films put on by badfilmclub.co.uk
I love fixing things, but luckily for my customers my record with computers is somewhat better than my recent attempt to fix my washing machine with a ratchet strap and offcuts of wood.
