Meet the Team

Stuart Harley is the Managing Director of ComputerXplorers. With a 15-year career in business development and sales, and a young family to provide for, franchising appealed to Stuart. It gave him the flexibility to maintain a work/life balance and enabled him to funnel his determination and creativity into a cause close to his heart: giving children the opportunity to excel.  

Stuart managed the Southampton branch of ComputerXplorers for two years, and under his guidance and leadership, it grew exponentially and became the biggest ComputerXplorers franchise in the network. In 2021 the opportunity arose for Stuart to purchase the brand from The Bardon Group, which he did with eagerness. Stuart is like any parent and wants his children to have access to the best technology to further their education, and believes ALL children should have the privilege of this education. Stuart manages the direction and growth of the business, but he is also hands-on, and still plays an active role in teaching classes across the south coast.   

Siobhan is an experienced communications professional and has spent 13 years delivering marketing campaigns for start-ups and multi-nationals. She ensures that there is a comprehensive marketing kick-off for our franchisees when they join the ComputerXplorers family, and is excellent at maximising opportunities to deliver brand awareness at local and national level. In her spare time, she is a tech fiend and loves exploring the latest gadgets from 3D printers to electric cars.  

Charlotte is one of our content developers and also works teaching children. She enjoys travelling and experiencing new cultures and trying all the food! She is a qualified yoga instructor who trained in India. She’s passionate about getting children engaged in creative and educational activities, and loves to see their knowledge and personalities grow.

Gemma assists and supports Stu with the day-to-day running of the business and ensures that everything is functioning smoothly and efficiently.
