Meet the founder

John Howard, Founder of Dunmow Computer Services

Hi, I'm John, founder of Dunmow Computer Services, a local business helping home users and small businesses get the most from their technology. Whether your laptop has stopped working, your Wi-Fi keeps dropping out, your printer refuses to cooperate or you're simply looking for honest, jargon-free advice, I'm here to help.

Before founding Dunmow Computer Services, I spent more than twenty years delivering technology, software and business transformation projects for organisations ranging from small businesses to international companies. During that time I learned that successful technology isn't about buying more software—it's about solving real problems and making life easier for the people using it.

Technology That Works For You

My goal is simple: to provide the kind of support I would want myself. That means turning up on time, explaining problems in plain English, recommending sensible solutions and never selling services or equipment that you don't need.

Many of my customers simply want someone they can trust when technology goes wrong. Others want help setting up a new computer, protecting their data, improving Wi-Fi or making sure everything works together reliably. Whatever the problem, I'll always take the time to explain your options before any work is carried out.

Experience That Goes Beyond Computer Repairs

Computer repair is only one part of what I do. My background has given me experience of technology at every level, from supporting individual users through to improving business processes and delivering complex technology projects.

That means I don't just look at the immediate problem. I look at how technology fits into the bigger picture, where time is being lost and how systems can work better together.

Whether I'm repairing a laptop, helping a business choose the right technology or designing an AI automation, my approach is always the same: understand the problem first, explain the options clearly and recommend practical solutions that deliver genuine value.

Helping Small Businesses Grow

Small businesses often don't have an IT department, yet they rely on technology every day. From email and Microsoft 365 to websites, cloud services and data backups, I help local businesses make better use of the tools they already have while identifying opportunities to improve productivity and reduce unnecessary administration.

Increasingly, that also includes practical Artificial Intelligence. Rather than chasing the latest buzzwords, I focus on real-world AI solutions that save time, automate repetitive tasks and improve the way businesses work.

Local, Independent and Here to Help

Dunmow Computer Services is proudly based in Great Dunmow and supports customers across the local area. As an independent business, every customer matters. You'll deal directly with me from your first enquiry through to the completion of the work, giving you a consistent, personal service rather than being passed between departments.

Whether you need a one-off computer repair, ongoing technology support, advice on improving your business systems or you're exploring the possibilities of AI automation, I'd be delighted to help.

John's Recommended Products

Over the years I've found certain products that consistently offer excellent reliability, value and performance.

If you're looking for a new monitor, printer, external drive, keyboard or mouse, I've put together a carefully selected collection of products that I genuinely recommend to my own customers. Every recommendation is based on real-world experience, not simply what's popular or heavily marketed.
