David Leonard provides personal service IT consultancy and support, together with some associated marketing and general business consultancy where appropriate.

David operates from Clapham, London SW4. To ensure an efficient and cost-effective service, site visits are usually limited to clients within two hours travelling time  of Clapham Common. See Fees page for more information.

Clients are generally small organisations (including charities), professionals (often working from home) and home users.

Services Offerred

• Standalone PC desktop and laptop trouble-shooting
• Hardware and software installation & configuration
• Upgrade management
• Internet
• Backups
• Online security
• Other Windows-based IT issues
• Pay Per Click Management
• One-to-one Training
• Simple web design (for existing clients only)
• Graphical, DTP, & database design

In short, if you work with standalone PCs (desktop and/or laptop) and you occasionally or regularly need help from someone with broader and deeper experience with this technology, then give David a call. You may be an organisation, a charity, a professional working from an office or home, or a home computer user.

Many of my clients are professionals who need their computer equipment to be working efficiently, but who work alone so don't have colleagues on-hand to help with technology issues.

You may be anywhere in London - Chelsea, Greenwich, Ealing, Camden, Richmond, Wandsworth - it doesn't matter as long as you are within two hours travelling time of Clapham (by public transport). There is no callout charge (but see fees for details of minimum charges)

Excluded Areas

• Apple Macs (unless you need some pretty basic help)
• Microsoft Exchange environments
• Games consoles
• Most computer repairs (please ask for details)

David's Approach

To help you decide whether to investigate further, here are a few assumptions and guiding principles that David works by:

• You need your computer system working properly so that you can get on with your real business. You are prepared to spend a reasonable sum to achieve that - and may budget for it on an ongoing basis.
• You need to know you can trust your IT Professional - expertise, experience, reliability, accuracy, flexibility, communications skills, commitment, patience, punctuality, discretion, and integrity are all important to you.
• You appreciate that a consultancy rate of £55 per hour is reasonable for over 25 years of real, hands-on, experience backed up with references. In some circumstances, discounts are available on these rates.
• You don't need/want to be bombarded with technical information and you are not interested in "megas" and "gigas" apart from knowing you have the right stuff.
