Bill Champness

Bill is managing director and a founder of Hardware Associates. He is from Guildford, Surrey and has worked in the IT industry for 30 years.

Before the arrival of the internet, Bill worked as an IT broker, matching buyers and sellers, and supply and demand, through a vast network of industry contacts. Following the introduction and the widespread use of the internet he founded Hardware Associates in 1997. The organisation started small but grew quickly, necessitating a location change and a further industrial unit expansion. Today he has Hardware Associates running like clockwork and is proud of the range of services and customer care that the company offers.

In his spare time Bill enjoys spending his weekends on the rugby pitch coaching the under 12s team at Haslemere Community Rugby Club.
