With more than 20 years experience working in the IT sector, and being passionate about helping small businesses run smoothly by getting the most out of their computer systems, Chris Hodgkiss set up IT Made Simple earlier this year.
Interview with Chris Hodgkiss
WhY DID YOU set up 'IT Made Simple'?
I’ve seen first-hand the difficulties that small businesses and sole traders often have in getting the attention and tailored service they really need, and how frustrating that can be for them. They often feel like they’re left hanging for long periods and then only getting limited assistance. With the amount of experience I have in the industry, I just really wanted to help them, and knew I was in a good position to do so. Smaller businesses need that more personal, one-to-one service, where someone spends the time to really get to know them and their business, but also has the in-depth and wide-ranging technical expertise to provide the practical solutions they need. This is what I offer.
What services do you offer?
I don’t want anyone worrying that their IT issues or needs aren’t ‘big enough’ to warrant calling on an expert. I therefore made the decision when I set up IT Made Simple that no problem would be too small and so, yes, I’m there for the big stuff, like updating your entire system or sourcing new equipment, but I’m also there for the smaller stuff, like setting up new email addresses or securing domain names. It’s all about freeing up your time so you can focus on running your business while knowing your IT is in safe hands.
What experience do you have in IT?
I’ve been working in the industry for more than 20 years and, of course, in that time I’ve seen so many changes. I’ve worked in large corporate settings, on help desks, and in residential repairs, as well as having run my own business before. This combined experience, along with now running IT Made Simple, means I have detailed first-hand experience of the unique challenges that smaller companies face. I’m keen to help them avoid the headaches and pitfalls that poor-performing IT can bring.
If you’re frustrated with your current provider, why not book a virtual coffee in my calendar. Getting access to the latest technology might be simpler, quicker and more affordable than you imagine.
