Introduction

Steve maintained an early interest in computing, installing his first computer for an SSVC (SKC) customer in 1983, later studying programming in the mid eighties. After a change in direction in the mid nineties, he qualified as a further and adult education teacher (Computing), studying a range of application and skill in support of business and education, further gaining from educational consultancies, schooling and developing information technology; combining ICT, teaching and technical experience in founding PCWorkspace in April 2002.

An ICT/ECDL Distributed Electronic Learning Tutor for a short while, Steve had earlier taught, and supported tutors, in further education for a number of years including activities in retirement, with a spell lecturing in computer science, more recently adding to his know-how on contract with BT as a field (IT and Broadband) engineer in the East Midlands.

Now with ten plus years practical experience, many of them as a field engineer, Steve has gained a wealth of knowledge in computing, and in providing personal computer services to the end user.
