2025 will see Soltech IT continue to donate IT equipment to school's throughout the Southwest as part of our 'Giving Back To Schools' donation campaign. 


We were delighted to be able to donate more than £15,000 of 65" and 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreens to six local schools and MAT's.


Gareth Jones, commented "As a business it's great to be able to give something back to schools, be they a customer or not. Our most recent donations have helped transform the learning environments of pupils which is something we are very proud of."


These most recent donations have not only included a 65" or 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreen, the schools have also received WiFi module upgrades, Android functionality, wall mounting brackets and relevant cables, plus delivery, removal / WEEE disposal of old equipment, installation and training, all as part of Soltech IT's donation.


That's around a £3,000 donation at each school or MAT.

From favourite pieces of tech to the best part of their job, as part of our our latest blog series, get to know our Soltech IT team a little better.

Describe your role at Soltech IT.
I’m the Technical Director as Soltech IT. I’ve been working here since August 2011, when I started as a part time employee. I was Richard’s first member of staff! After a matter of weeks I was working full time. My roles include planning for installs and upgrades, looking after the business customers and making sure the engineers are happy and completing all their work. No day is the same. One day you’re taking support calls, the next you’re planning a new server infrastructure for a multi million pound turnover company! Very exciting!
What skills do you think you bring to your role?
Having worked in various IT roles over the last 23 years, I feel I can deal with clients at all technical levels and understand their requirements.
What is your favourite piece of tech or gadget?
My Kerio Firewall as it lets me control my children’s internet access when they annoy me. Oh, the power! Closely followed by Spotify.
Outside of work what is your favourite thing to do in your spare time?
Trying to do exciting things with the children before they start arguing with each other.
What are you listening to/ reading/ watching at the moment?
In the last few months, I appear to have become addicted to 70’s Funk and Soul! Jackson Sisters, Tony Joe White, Nina Simone, The Jimmy Caster Bunch to name but a few. Watching... Game of Thrones. Reading… nothing anymore. Favourite book… And the Ass Saw The Angel by Nick Cave
Who would you invite (real, fictional, dead or alive) to your dream dinner party?
Aretha Franklin (to provide pre-diner entertainment), Prof. Stephen Hawking, John Belushi, Billy Connolly, Steve Jobs and The Bonzo Dog Band (to provide post-diner entertainment, because they are all mad!).
