About the PC Crew
About the PC Crew – Run by husband and wife team Chris and Anne-Marie Bartoszewicz (or Barty for short!), Chris set up The PC Crew in 2007 to provide a local, expert and reliable service to home and business computer users in the area.
Originally working on his own from his spare bedroom and a little Citroen C2 car, Chris’ business has gone from strength to strength and with dedicated premises and staff housed at new premises at Unit 7, Sandbeck Park, in Wetherby, The PC Crew now employ 5 staff.
Our engineers are fully IT qualified and have been DBS checked (formally CRB checks) so you can rest assured you, and your computer is in safe hands. We will visit you in your home or business, or you can visit us in our Wetherby office. On occasion, when there isn’t time for a visit, we can perform repairs via the Internet via a remote assistance session.
