All change at Frome IT support company

July 30, 2019

FROME’S award-winning IT support company has a new-look and a new name, ‘geekingITsimple’.

Formerly known as Frometech, ‘geekingITsimple’ has also made some changes behind the scenes – closing their residental IT support service and showroom on Vallis Way, allowing them to expand and grow their business IT support service.

The company now provides IT and technology services to local businesses, schools and charities within a 15-mile radius of Frome – with the level of support offered tailored to the needs of each customer.

Founding director, Jamie Seviour told Frome Times, “I am really excited, it is the right time to make these changes.The business has grown so that we can now offer the level of service required by businesses – we have the expertise and skill-set required.

“Residential IT support was the core of our business – it is how it all started when I founded the business in 2013, working out of a garage. So there were lots of sleepless nights before making the decision to close the service. 

“Some customers have been disappointed by the news, but they understand why we have done this. The IT sector is progressing and business-to-business support is the way to go. I would like to say thank you to all our residential customers who have supported us and helped us get to this point.

“By closing our residential support service we have freed up our technical team, who can now offer more support to our longest-standing customers like Frome College.

“We can now also offer our services further afield – we now support businesses from Bath down to Yeovil and also in Wells, Street and Glastonbury. We are also trying to offer a service to offices in more remote towns.”

Despite the big changes, one thing remains consistent at ‘geekingITsimple’, staying connected to the Frome community.

Jamie explains, “Frometech has always been part of the community and this will be no different at ‘geekingITsimple’. We will continue to be involved in the  town council’s ‘Discuss & Do’, business breakfasts, and other events in the town. The Frome community is important to us, so we will strive to maintain this.”

  • Tributes paid to popular founder of Keyford Hedgehog Rescue

Tributes have been paid to the Keyford Hedgehog Rescue and Rehab member, Graham Gillions, who died on Saturday 3rd January following a short illness.

Graham was a popular Frome resident who set up and ran Keyford Hedgehog Rescue and Rehab,  with his partner Jennie Owen, in a bid to help the town’s hedgehog population thrive.

Mayor of Frome Cllr Anita Collier said, “Frome is a town full of wonderful, remarkable people, working hard to make the world a better place. There’s no doubt at all that Graham Gillions was one of them.

“We hosted Graham at a council meeting last year; talking about his work with Keyford Hedgehog Rescue and his passion for hedgehog conservation was so evident, as well as his enormous knowledge, his warmth and his kindness. We were so sorry to hear the news and our thoughts are with everyone who loved and knew Graham – thank you to him for all his work.”

  • Disability-friendly car available for community use thanks to local man

A disability-friendly car is now available for community use in Frome to help wheelchair users and housebound residents get out and about, thanks to a local man.

The vehicle was purchased last year by Frome resident Pete Dayman-Johns and, thanks to funding from Frome Selwood Rotary, which has paid for specialist insurance, residents can now book the car to drive people to medical appointments, groups or shopping.

Pete said, “I took it upon myself to get the car last year and start this scheme because there aren’t many disability-friendly taxis available in Frome as quickly as my car can be. I like helping people and this is my way of doing that.

“This isn’t a common thing in other towns. It was an idea I had after learning that so many people are struggling to get out and about and to medical appointments.”

  • Frome volunteers knit hearts for palliative care patients

Frome volunteers have knitted more than 100 hearts to support palliative care patients and their families.

The hearts were donated to the Royal United Hospital in Bath following an appeal, coordinated through the Co-operative Funeralcare – Frome, which called on local knitters to create hearts using a specific pattern.

The appeal came after a Frome resident introduced the team at the Co-op to the Compassion Memory Hearts scheme following her uncle’s death, when a heart had been left on his pillow.

The scheme sees volunteers knit pairs of small hearts. One heart is left on the patient’s pillow, while the other is given to their family as a keepsake, offering comfort and connection when they cannot be together.

  • Frome woman raises over £36,500 for cancer charity with running challenge

Frome fundraiser Rachel Clark has raised over £36,500 for a cancer counselling charity through a mile-a-day running challenge.

Rachel ran a mile a day in 2019, 2024 and 2025 running in all weathers and encouraging residents to join her and donate to We Hear You (WHY), a cancer counselling charity in Frome.

Rachel said, “Over the years approximately 10,205 epic people joined in with the challenge; the youngest was four years old, the oldest was 77, thousands interacted online, we ran through all the seasons, from heatwaves to blizzards.

“The ripple effect of 365 was magic. Some of you were inspired to take up running and many of you took up fundraising for WHY yourselves. Fundamentally we made a difference, in so many ways. This challenge was never about distance; it was always more than just a mile.”
