                              Dan Essex is Technical Consultant at TLC Solutions and is sure to have a technical solution to your problem, no matter how sedate or ambitious the pitch. Mr Essex studied Computing for Internet and Multimedia at RGU in Aberdeen and then Media Technology at Salford University before going into the industry working for a variety of employers both in hospitality and in technology, which makes him well suited to this role here at TLC Solutions.
                              He has a wealth of experience in a whole gamut of technical fields including valuable experience as a sales technician at a large computer warehouse and also spent some time working for Apple as a Specialist, which helped him to understand the world of hardware procurement and gave him valuable insight into the core technical competencies and requirements of the general public.
                              Dan likes nothing more than getting his hands on bleeding-edge tech and figuring out how it all works – many a product in the Essex household was taken apart in his early days in pursuit of this goal, and most of the time 12-year-old Dan was able to put it back together again too!

                                    Built my first PC at 10. Started working in Hospitality at 15. College to study IT at 16. Moved to Manchester for uni at 18. I worked nights in Revolution. But then I stopped pulling pints and started pushing myself. I upped my game. Made a leap to IT and started learning more. I did things I never dreamed I would. I fixed issues I never thought I could. The blue screens. The smashed screens. The Internet troubles. And all that in between.
                                    Sure, I was Born in Yorkshire. But I was made to support you.

                                                                        Dan Essex is Technical Consultant at TLC Solutions and is sure to have a technical solution to your problem, no matter how sedate or ambitious the pitch. Mr Essex studied Computing for Internet and Multimedia at RGU in Aberdeen and then Media Technology at Salford University before going into the industry working for a variety of employers both in hospitality and in technology, which makes him well suited to this role here at TLC Solutions.
                                                                        He has a wealth of experience in a whole gamut of technical fields including valuable experience as a sales technician at a large computer warehouse and also spent some time working for Apple as a Specialist, which helped him to understand the world of hardware procurement and gave him valuable insight into the core technical competencies and requirements of the general public.
                                                                        Dan likes nothing more than getting his hands on bleeding-edge tech and figuring out how it all works – many a product in the Essex household was taken apart in his early days in pursuit of this goal, and most of the time 12-year-old Dan was able to put it back together again too!

For the past 10 years she has looked after both Reservation and POS configuration for a large restaurantgroup with four brands and 30+ sites in the UK. Prior to this she worked in retail, studying a Management Training programme then moving into luxury fashion.

                                                                            After studying Hotel Management in Barcelona (her home town), Marta moved to the UK where she worked in five-star hotels such as the Savoy and Claridge’s. Exceeding expectations and attention to detail are part of her nature.
                                                                            Marta then made the move to Infor where she became a Project Consultant, specialising in EPOS and stock control systems, moving then to Quadranet where she first worked with our very own Steve.
                                                                            Spending a lot of her working life in hotels and restaurants, learning about their system needs and putting them to use, has given Marta the experience needed to help our clients find the right solutions for their business.
                                                                            Outside of work Marta loves making bread and baked goods of all kinds, traveling, spending time with friends and playing board games.

Moved to Manchester for uni at 18. I worked nights in Revolution. But then I stopped pulling pints and started pushing myself. I upped my game. Made a leap to IT and started learning more. I did things I never dreamed I would. I fixed issues I never thought I could. The blue screens. The smashed screens. The Internet troubles. And all that in between.
                                                                              Sure, I was Born in Yorkshire. But I was made to support you.
