Managing Director.
Founder of Wight Computers.
He programmed a computer to water his garden for him.
Andrew joined the team…

IT credentials:
BSc (Hons) Degree – Internet Technology, University of Portsmouth.
Best thing about working at Wight Computers:
Being able to help businesses put in place IT systems that help them become more productive and lower their risk of a disruptive cyber-attack. There are way too many small businesses that lose a lot of money when it was so easily avoidable.
Most often heard to say:
“Check the process!” Consistency and quality of service is important to us at Wight Computers, so we follow lots of carefully written processes.
“Turn the heating down!” is a close second though!
Top tech tip:
Please outsource your IT to a team of experts so that you can spend your time growing your own business, rather than dealing with forgotten passwords and guessing security settings!

Customers say:
“Andrew and the team provide such friendly and responsive support.”
“Everything is done courteously and with ease.”
This or that?
Tea or coffee? Island Roasted cappuccino with oat milk and caramel syrup from Caffe Isola.
Early bird or night owl? I’m normally falling asleep by 9PM so definitely not a night owl.
Savoury or sweet? I have a real sweet tooth – ask my dentist!
Summer or winter? Spring. Everything in my garden starts to come to life and I’m like Goldilocks – I can’t cope when it’s too hot or too cold; it’s got to be just right!
City or countryside? Countryside every time. We live in such a beautiful place here on the Island.
Cats or dogs? I have one of each one but cats are the ultimate low-maintenance pets!
