Zumo’s friend Charles Wu, had recently put his computing consultancy business up for sale – ‘PC: IT’. PC: IT was set up ten years ago, and seemed quite successful. The premises were located on a busy street in the town centre of Enniskillen, and operated a ‘collect and return’ service, enabling computers to be serviced without the customer having to leave their home.
