# The Computer Man – Barry
The Computer Man is an independent IT support business established in 1996, run by Andrew Payne from Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan. With nearly three decades of experience, the business provides tailored computer support for both home users and small businesses across South Wales.
For home users, The Computer Man offers system upgrades, new computer setups, wireless and wired network configuration, and data recovery services. The business supports Windows 7, 8, and 10 alongside Apple iOS systems, with both online remote assistance and on-site visits available.
Small businesses receive comprehensive IT solutions including network setup for 1–30 PCs and servers, system maintenance and monitoring, security audits, hardware upgrades, and backup solutions. This makes The Computer Man particularly valuable for SMEs requiring professional infrastructure without enterprise-level costs.
What sets this business apart is its personal, accessible approach. Andrew operates as a sole trader, meaning clients receive direct communication with an experienced technician rather than call centres or impersonal support teams. The business emphasises convenience—Andrew covers the Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff areas with short-notice callouts, and he famously invites customers to stop him in the street for quotes. The website includes downloadable utilities and remote support tools, reflecting a genuine commitment to customer service beyond paid engagement.
