Lee Grant

Lee’s career began in TV as a programme maker for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, specialising in education, history and science. He was part of the early video-on-demand team for ITV which lead to technical roles within the fledgling online-shopping department for ASDA/Walmart.

In 2003, he and his wife escaped the corporate world and setup a computer repair business focussing on the consumer side of the market.

Lee is a contributing editor and podcaster for sister title PC Pro with a particular interest in the right-to-repair movement and the circular economy. He can usually be found running around the streets of Yorkshire at a ridiculous time of the morning, and he’s also trying to solve a mystery involving David Bowie.
