Harvik Solutions was formed in 1993 by the company owner, Ian Fazakerley. My working life began back in 1971 when I joined the Royal Air Force as an apprentice on the ill fated TSR2 project. Although the TSR2 was cancelled the apprenticeship scheme continued.
After nine years of radar and missile engineering I decided to leave and began a career in computer engineering as an IBM qualified AT/PC technician. From this base I got interested in software development as a result of needing to fix a networking fault for the Eastern Daily Press. I was hooked and within months had written my first word processor aimed at the legal market operating under Unix.
The move to the ®Windows environment was customer driven, using ®Superbase (it's good to see that Superbase is still going after all these years). Data manipulation is my main market, producing catalogues with thousands of line items on demand or just validation tools to cross check existing data sets.
Web sites are another aspect of my work and I maintain quite a few now either commercially or voluntarily, including ecommerce sites.
I hope you find something of interest within this site, it's not just about advertising Harvik.
Thank you for looking
Ian Fazakerley.
