The current Business started out in 1992 as “Mark Andrew Smith”, as a sole trader, providing PC Support to small and local Business near where I lived at the time in Lowton (Near Warrington, England). This coupled with our “Application Soft” software gave local small businesses a one stop shop for help with all their data needs.
Over the next few years the number of clients grew and we started supplying custom made PC’s to small business clients. In case of failure, we maintained a small number of “courtesy” computers. Our courtesy computers were infrequently deployed and so we looked for avenues to use them as a secondary revenue stream. In 1995, saw the birth of our Computer Hire section where we hired out these PC’s (and later other equipment) as hire computers.
