What do you love most about your job?
John Blagden - I love the idea of going out in the morning and not knowing exactly what I'm going to find, or who I'm going to meet (or what mood they'll be in). Solving Mac problems by thinking the issue through, which with my three decades of experience allows me to really focus, then testing the issue to see if I'm correct and coming up with a solution or options for my clients and handing back a working computer with their data on it is something I never get tired of.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Originally I was a professional photographer and reprographer (repro graphics), and around 1985 when I was working as the Technical Rep for a specialist photographic materials supplier, saw these little beige boxes with 9" mono screens (the original Macs) appearing on people's desks. Although I had my own computer, an Amstrad 8256, the Mac just blew me away!
I very quickly realised that this was the future of design, publishing and printing, which at that time was nearly 100% based on photographic materials manipulated by hand.
I worked for a couple of AppleCenter retail organisations as their graphics specialist, but in 1993 I started The Blagden Consultancy so that I had control. I took dozens of companies through the famous 'Desktop Publishing Revolution' of the early 90's as my expert knowledge of what how they had done it before allowed me to explain the best route forward for them as individuals or companies. Some of those people are still clients.
Why should our clients choose you?
With the combined expertise of myself and my engineer, who has 30 years experience and is probably one of the best Mac repairmen/upgraders in London, our clients should expect a very high level of professionalism, politeness, attention to detail, punctuality and ability to explain complex issues or options in an understandable way.
