Tom Smith

IT Support Engineer.

Here to help – so long as he’s had his coffee

Tom joined the team…
in 2021, having coincidentally studied with Ben at the same school and university.

IT credentials:
BSc (Hons) Degree – Web and Game Technology, University of Portsmouth.

Best thing about working at Wight Computers:
My hobby has become my day job which means all the formerly niche knowledge I could only bore my friends with is now useful work-related niche knowledge I can bore my colleagues with!

Most often heard to say:
“It’s a little chilly.” (even when it is sunny outside!)
“Coffee time!”

Top tech tip:
Please restart your machine once a week. You wouldn’t believe some of the extremely long machine uptimes I’ve seen!

His colleagues say:
If you want to have a long, nerdy, in-depth discussion about PC components, Tom is your guy!

Customers say:
“Tom was efficient, supportive and reassuring.”
“Tom always goes above and beyond to help!”

This or that?
Tea or coffee? Coffee, obviously. I require enough caffeine that I hear colours!

Early bird or night owl? Night owl – the trick is to stay up late enough that you also become an early bird.

Savoury or sweet? Savoury, although I am partial to an apple crumble.

Summer or winter? Summer – longer evenings mean more motorcycle time!

City or country? City. Food, entertainment, music, pubs – what more could you need?

Cats or dogs? Cats without a doubt.
