Our story – continuing to develop and innovate…
Founded by Andrew Nordbruch in 2012, Wight Computers are an approachable IT company whose main aim is to help businesses embrace technology to become innovators within their own industries.
We believe that IT is there to support everyone, and we provide innovative technological solutions for all a business’s needs; from Proactive Support to the creation of Bespoke Software Applications. Constantly researching and experimenting with new technology, we help business owners and companies to operate more effectively – saving them precious time, money and resources.
As the first IT service provider to be awarded the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce Quality in Business accreditation, we are proud to be able to add value to businesses through technology. We work across all industry sectors; from the neighbouring florist and radio station to a leading architect practice and estate agency and have an ongoing commitment to supporting local charities.
Our customers are our greatest asset and we are pleased to have formed great long-standing relationships with clients on both the Island and across the water in Portsmouth, Southampton, Fareham and Worthing. With more than 60 reviews on the independent online review platform Google Business, 100% with a five-star rating, our customers are testimony to our work.
Our journey – from the past and into the future…
2004 - Andrew graduates from the University of Portsmouth with a First-Class Honours Degree in Internet Technology
Meet The Team
We are a young, dynamic team with a thirst for all things related to technology. We love to create great ideas which we not only enjoy but are proud to share with others.
Each member of our team is friendly and approachable and can talk to our customers without bamboozling them with technical jargon! In our experience this is really important as we want all our customers to feel comfortable when dealing with us. As one of our long-standing clients once wrote about us, “Wight Computers are humans first, geeks second!”

Outside of work I can most often be found:
In the woods playing with toy guns with grown men.
And introducing our honorary team member…
We love all things related to technology and have lots of great ideas but are not always sure how to let people know what we do and how we can help them, so it’s great to have Dee on board to support us with our PR & Marketing.
Dee has more years than she cares to remember in sales and marketing roles working with some of the top UK companies including Boots, Liz Earle, John Lewis and QVC. She has a unique combination of business skills and expertise to bring to the table and although she doesn’t work in the office with us, she’s a frequent visitor and very much part of the team so we thought it was only fair that Dee had a team profile too!
