Impreza IT Solutions Born 1998
Impreza was formed in 1998 initially as a software development
company but soon after added an IT Support division too.
Thirteen years on, and despite the peaks and troughs of the
economy, we have continued to grow both our business and our client
base which we believe is due to the following:
- Dedication to providing unparalleled customer service
- Client retention
- Staff retention
- Investment into systems
- Investment into training
We are now one of Kents' leading providers of software
development and IT support services to organisations across many
sectors. Contact
Us for more information.

He is the proud father of daughter Olivia, and likes to keep busy in his spare time by sailing, playing golf, squash and the guitar.

Over the years he has worked at the London Stock Exchange, as well as dabbling in a bit of business, owning a mobile phone company and also being involved in property management and refurbishment. He has 2 small children who obviously take up most of his spare time, although in the moments he does get to himself he like a bit of the good life, growing veg and doing DIY. He loves food, eating and cooking it (!), and dreams of one day owning a Nissan GTR (as well as always being happy!).

After his initial training, he worked for an Internet Service Provider for a year and then worked as an IT and Telecoms field Support Engineer for 3 years before coming to Impreza.
