Administration and Marketing Support - Julie Arya 

Julie, married to founder Shush Arya, supported and encouraged him to start the business in 1999. Previously Julie worked as a Regional Manager for a retail chain and as a Sales Executive for several companies including Thomson Local.

It was Julie who suggested to Shush the business that the business name should reflect what the business did and she came up with the name, The Computer Man.
