About me
I have been running a health food business for over 30 years, and we still have 3 shops in Chester and Wirral. However I have freed myself up to do what I have always wanted to do, which is work in IT and help other people develop their skills in it as well. My inclination has always been to work on the computer at home, and indeed I have written all my own software for doing the business accounts, ordering and stock control.
I moved to Flintshire in 2008, and so I am now ideally based to serve this area.
Recently, I have been doing a lot of work on Microsoft Publisher for my business, so I now have a lot of experience in doing leaflets, business cards etc.
Aside from helping with computers, I am a very keen golfer, tennis and table tennis player, and I also play South American music in a small group.
