IT Support Services at Athenaeum

Hi, I’m Jamie Rhodes-Simpson, founder of Athenaeum, with over 40 years of IT expertise, starting when I was a kid playing on a Nascom II my Dad built. From BBC Micros to today’s complex networks, I’ve been fixing tech since before the Internet was a thing.

What I Offer

• Setup & Configuration: Installing and optimising Mac, Linux, or Windows systems, software, and hardware for homes, offices, or schools.
• Networking Solutions: Designing and troubleshooting networks, internet connections, firewalls, and security protocols.
• Specialised Systems: Expertise in entertainment industry networks, including Calrec, Allen & Heath, MADI and Dante (Level III certified), plus fibre optics for TV and live events.
• IT Security & Software: Guidance on software selection, password management, and securing your digital world.
• PAT Testing & Equipment Repair: Ensuring your electrical gear is safe and functional, from studio kit to office tech.

My Track Record

I’ve worked with everyone from homeowners to enterprise giants like Barclays Bank, BT, and Co-op Travelcare. I also founded Ecological Hosting, running the UK’s first renewable-powered web hosting service for almost two decades, installing and managing servers, email, DNS, and thousands of websites.

Why Choose Athenaeum?

Whether it’s a crashed computer, a dodgy network, or a PAT test for your gear, I bring a no-nonsense approach backed by decades of experience. My work in sound engineering (Capybara Sound) and video production (HD Media Pro) means I get tech in high-pressure, creative environments.
