Born and raised in the Waikato, Brendan has worked around New Zealand and overseas before returning to the Waikato several years ago. He has seen the challenges facing small and medium businesses in regional New Zealand, who have the same requirements as large businesses and corporates, but don't have the ability to employ their own full time internal IT Manager. This led to establishing Effective IT Ltd to provide part time 'Virtual IT Manager' services for small and medium businesses.

After many years working for various resellers and service providers, Brendan understands how the IT industry works and more importantly, understands what businesses need. He is now in the ideal position to provide your business the advice it needs to make it easier to manage your IT.

We make it easy to manage your IT, so that you can get back to your business.
