Computer retailer first in new complex

Computer retailer PC People is the first retailer to open in the new combined retail and residential complex in Trafalgar Ave, Umina.

Proprietor Frank White has lived in Umina for more than 10 years and has become a computer retailer after a lengthy career as a programmer.

PC People retails new and used computers and monitors as well as components, blank disks and related items.

They also undertake repairs and generally assist clients with their computer needs at all levels.

Also based at the shop is a web-site designer with a background in 3D computer animation.

The recent downturn in the use of specialist contractors in the IT industry has meant that many of them have needed to look for an income in other areas.

Mr White received assistance through the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme and has already established a new locally-based clientele.

In the near future, he plans to add an Internet and game play service area with a number of computers permanently connected to the Internet.
