My name is Dave Walkiden and I have over 40 years experience working with computers. Now I run my own computer consultancy specifically via on-site visits to my customers.
I have been working with computers from the early days when the the old Amstrad word processors were the ‘in-thing’. After starting a new business at the time we got them running programs for Invoicing; Payroll and Tax software etc and really got into the capabilities of them before Microsoft introduced Windows.
I learned Windows and Microsoft Office from the ground up. Soon I developed an aptitude for solving problems with the system. I have been working with computers and teaching others ever since.
In 1995 I sold my UK business. Then I set up my own computer consultancy. This started life as giving computer lessons but soon became a full-blown call-out service to deal with day-to-day technology issues for both private individuals and small companies.
Additionally I provide online courses for beginners using Windo9ws 10 or 11. The courses are module based and interactive.
I take pride in helping my customers to become proficient in using their device, whether that be a small tablet, kindle, computer or laptop. I am a patient teacher and use everyday simple language to explain things. I can also provide printed help sheets.
I can also diagnose problems with Mac or Microsoft software such as Outlook or any of the Microsoft Office suite programs such as Word and Excel etc. If a small company needs a cost effective way of calling on someone to solve their IT issues then I can help with that both in solving the issue, training and networking.
For those who live in remote areas or with an urgent issue I can offer remote control services whereby I can see their computer screen on my own machine and fix a problem without having to leave home, which is very cost effective.
Whatever support a client needs I can meet that demand in a friendly and relaxed manner.
