Through The Line

My Name is Tony Phipps and I started developing web sites in 1996, long before most people had even heard of the internet! My first web site design was for a coffee company in Basingstoke - and they still remain an important customer for me to this very day.

I served a four year electronics apprenticeship with a global telecommunications company, where I spent the next 7 years working on various installations, until, that fateful day when the very first green-screen computer arrived in the office in the corner. Within hours, I was hooked!

Several years later, having worked in a computer operations position for Fisons, followed by a PC support position for an international freight business in Heathrow, where I supported over 200 staff in over 50 offices throughout the UK, I took the plunge and became a self-employed computer consultant, targetting small local businesses, to help them with the supply, installation and support of personal computers, and networks.
