Keith Franklin left the corporate world of hotels in 2006, moved back to his home county of Shropshire and set up as an Independent IT consultant.  Based in Shrewsbury, Keith provides a corporate level of IT support for farms, rural businesses, AD plants, milking parlours and holiday cottages across Shropshire and throughout the UK.

​

Working in partnership with his clients, he offers advice on how to improve the structure and efficiency of their IT systems, as well as offering PC, laptop support, networking, broadband and wireless, guest Wi-Fi, data backup and cyber security.

​

Keith says, “It’s hard to believe it’s been sixteen years already!  I’d like to thank all our existing clients for their continued support and now, with a renewed drive, I’m looking forward to focusing on developing the business further.”

​

With a background in farming, if he’s not near a computer, Keith can often be found at ploughing matches, agricultural shows or game fairs.
