About Edwinsford Solutions
Practical ideas. Useful technology. A little bit of history.
Edwinsford Solutions began quite simply: with someone asking, “Could you make something that does this?”
With a professional background in technology and systems design, working as a Solutions Architect for a global manufacturer of hardware systems, creating practical solutions to real-world problems is very much part of everyday life.
What started as helping to solve a particular problem soon developed into something more. Our event scanning and networking applications were born from genuine requirements rather than from looking for a product to sell. Someone needed a solution, so we built one.
And, with a little help from Jemima, our ever-present AI assistant, those ideas have continued to grow.
Today, Edwinsford Solutions develops straightforward software and technology designed to make things easier. We particularly focus on event technology, registration, networking and other practical applications where a relatively simple idea can remove a surprisingly complicated problem.
We don't believe technology needs to be complicated simply for the sake of being clever. If something can be made simpler, easier to use and more affordable, that's generally the direction we'll take.
Why Edwinsford?
The name has a little history behind it.
Edwinsford Solutions takes its name from the Edwinsford Arms, a former public house in the small Welsh village of Talley. The building appears in historical records dating back to at least 1830 and is believed to be older still.
The old pub is now our family home, but rather than let the Edwinsford name disappear into history, we've given it a new purpose.
From serving pints nearly two centuries ago to developing software today — it's been quite a change of direction.
Technology that gives something back
There's another principle we want Edwinsford Solutions to have from the beginning.
10% of all Edwinsford Solutions sales will be set aside for donation to SOS Children's Villages.
This isn't a cause chosen at random.
My wife has spent her professional career in social work, previously working in child protection and now within fostering. We're also foster carers ourselves, so providing children with safety, stability and the opportunity to grow up surrounded by people who care about them is something very close to our family.
SOS Children's Villages works around the world to support children and families, help prevent unnecessary family separation and provide appropriate alternative care for children who cannot safely remain with their families.
Their work reflects something we strongly believe: every child deserves to feel safe, supported and wanted.
That's why, as Edwinsford Solutions grows, we want the good it can do to grow with it.
Every sale contributes to that commitment. We'll set aside 10% and make the amount we've accumulated for donation visible on our website, so our customers can see what they're helping to achieve.
Small company. Useful ideas. Positive impact.
We're not trying to become another enormous technology company.
We want to build useful things, treat customers properly, keep our products accessible and use some of what we earn to help children who haven't necessarily had the opportunities or security that every child should have.
If we can build technology that solves genuine problems while doing a little good along the way, we'll consider Edwinsford Solutions a success.
