Stuart Harley is the Managing Director of ComputerXplorers. With a 15-year career in business development and sales, along with a young family, franchising had always appealed as it allowed him to be a master of his own destiny as well as achieve a good work life balance. Stuart had been managing the Southampton franchise for two years to become the biggest ComputerXplorers franchise in the network in a short space of time when in 2021 the opportunity arose to purchase the brand from The Bardon Group. Stuart saw the potential of the brand, not just in the UK but around the world. Stuart knows the importance technology will have to play in his kids’ future and he believes all children should have access to high quality computer education. Whilst Stuart now manages the direction and growth of the business, he is also hands-on and still gets involved in teaching classes across the south coast.
