Skilled Computer Engineer in Telford

Kevin Genner.is a Telford based qualified computer engineer who is available for nationwide Computer Installations, Computer Repairs and Computer Maintenance.

Kev lives in Orleton Lane, Wellington. He is a Compaq – HP certified, Azlan certified, Dell Partner and Microsoft Partner computer engineer with approx 40 years experience.

At the time of the launch of the Sinclair Spectrum, Kev was working as a Sheet Metal Worker / Welder. He purchased a Home Computer, learnt the BASIC computer language, attended (and passed) numerous computer courses. This allowed him to enter the computer industry with Jentech Computers in their Telford branch.

Sometime later he started his own business; A&A Computers in Shifnal which ran for a number of years. At this time, He also began stripping, upgrading and repairing systems.

Unfortunately, Kev broke his right elbow (he is right handed) and “was sidelined” for 2.5 years whilst awaiting surgery.

Immediately upon return to fitness Kev began working at Mitac Computers (Computer manufacturing plant at Stafford Park Telford) as a computer engineer with responsibility for fault finding and repairing PC`s. He was promoted to senior engineer with responsibility for Compaq Computers (Mitac manufactured Compaq PC`s and at this time, Compaq were the No1 brand worldwide).

PSM Micros were the No1 computer maintenance and repair company in Shropshire. Compaq suggested that they employ someone to oversee Compaq repairs. Kev had resolved a number of issues for Compaq (whilst at Mitac) and was “head hunted” by PSM.

PSM put Kev through” Compaq and Azlan certification. Whilst at PSM they became and remained No1 in Europe for approx 3.5 years for correctly diagnosing faults and successfully repairing systems. PSM clients ranged from small businesses to councils to prisons and national companies (eg; British Coal).

Kev was then “head hunted” by Dataworld UK. His responsibilities were repairs, in-house maintenance, customer support and product development. Whilst there, he did work for MOD (Ministry of Defence) and resolved a number of issues which resulted in them being invited to apply for contracts. Additionally, Kev was specifically asked for by the MOD to resolve issues.

Kev designed the new network at MDBA (Ministry of Defence & British Aerospace) HQ, Resolved numerous issues at GCHQ, Abbey Wood, AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) and others.

Dataworld was also awarded sub-contracts from ICO for NHS installations. ICO insisted that Kev performed the installations on numerous sites and occasions for North Mersey Health Authority to Greenwich Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Kev also resolved issues and later installed systems at Brunell University, Hull University, Manchester University, Rolls Royce, Akza Nobel and many others.

He became disillusioned and left Dataworld to begin work at Maztec Computer Services (Stourport) as a field service engineer. His role was to visit customers nationwide (3x per day) repairing systems for major insurance companies and for PC World (when they or their main repair centre couldn’t repair a system, he would visit the store and repair). Whilst at Maztec he also trained the specialist engineers at PC Worlds main repair centre (near Liverpool). However after 14mths, he left to set up a business which would supply machine specific Windows Recovery CDs. Microsoft invited him to become a Microsoft Partner and granted permission, he also became a Dell Partner.

After a number of years, Microsoft withdrew permission. This forced him to close the business.

Kev is now offering his services to individuals and organisations nationwide. Contact details are shown below.
