Our Story

Welcome to the heartwarming tale of The Ely Computer Centre and Barbell Computing. This is a story filled with inspiration and dedication that I believe will resonate deeply with you, our valued clients.

At the core of this narrative is me, Scott Colling, your esteemed Managing Director. My journey embodies the pursuit of one’s true calling and the realization of lifelong aspirations. I began my professional voyage within the modest confines of a small computer sales and repair shop in Cambridge. My humble beginnings laid the foundation for my career, which ultimately led me to become a distinguished Microsoft Architect, forging connections with renowned IT enterprises and engaging with iconic brands on a daily basis.

At The Ely Computer Centre and Barbell Computing, I am not just a service provider but your steadfast partner in your technological journey, dedicated to your peace of mind and success. Thank you for entrusting me with your needs, and together, we will continue to reach new heights.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came in with a broken motherboard query and received great attention and advice. The advice given was not to spend the money in store,  but for my son,  an enthusiast, to source his own parts and to give the repair a go himself. A friendly offer of advice as he went along was made too.
A genuinely reassuring approach to computers and great customer service.  I hope this business goes from strength to strength!

Highly recommend him to anyone, very knowledgeable, honest and a really nice guy. We are so glad we have found him, and great to have someone local on hand.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My elderly laptop was running so slowly, it was driving me crazy and I dreaded using it. I brought iit to Scott who quickly diagnosed the problems and recommended a cost effective solution. He undertook the work very quickly and efficiently, and I couldn't be more delighted with the outcome. My laptop has been given a new lease of life. I can't recommend Scott highly enough - he is super efficient, knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so impressed with our experience at The Ely Computer Centre. The response after sending an email was super quick. The laptop was in the following morning and fixed and back with us 2 days later. We couldn’t have asked for more. Can’t praise Scott enough and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending his services. His rate is very competitive too. We will certainly use him again should the need arise.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lifesaver! I rely on my laptop for work and mid update, it just froze and wouldn't switch back on. The issue was resolved quickly and thankfully, didn't cost me too much either. Hoping not to have to visit anytime soon 😂, but if I did, I wouldn't go anywhere else 😊.
