The Graphics Network, Fairford, Swindon, Bristol, Oxford and nationwide


History The Graphics Network was formed in February 1988 in order to exploit the emerging Microsoft Windows in both training and bespoke software development. At this time the company was also developing and selling its own software, targeted at other developers, and this was used everywhere from Europe to the USA, Scandinavia to Australia. Steve Jones, our main developer and trainer, has been developing for Windows for well over twenty years as well as training other developers. We have trained: ♦ Windows to Microsoft ♦ Java to Sun ♦ OS/2 to IBM Our other customers range from large organizations such as Philips and Sony to individuals. Although we are a small company, we have a worldwide reputation and have trained throughout Europe and as far as Australia.


Philosophy In the 24 years we have been established we have seen many other training companies come and go, either growing into ‘training supermarkets’ who just sell bought-in expertise, or into larger organizations who lose their personal contact and disappear. That is why: ♦ We started small, are still small, and will be small in 10 years time ♦ We believe in the personal touch: your trainer will speak to you before the course and will be there for you afterwards ♦ We provide quality training based on development experience ♦ We keep apace with the latest developments in software hence moving into Java and then the .NET technologies of C# and VB.Net We believe the above philosophy is the reason for our success and longevity and we expect to be training developers and developing software at the forefront of technology for many years to come.
