Our Story

ComputerXplorers was launched in 2006, and since then we have grown to 22 UK family businesses, and six international businesses, teaching over 10,000 children per week. This year alone, we have grown 300% and we have ambitions to expand further across the UK, and into Europe and the United States.

The market is huge with over 23,000 primary schools and 30,000 pre-schools in the UK. The potential is there to achieve great rewards if you’re determined, passionate and ambitious enough, something CEO Stuart Harley accomplished when he took over leadership of ComputerXplorers.

With a 15 year career in business and development and a young family to provide for, franchising appealed to Stuart. It gave him the flexibility to maintain a work-life balance, and enabled him to funnel his determination and creativity into a cause close to his heart: preparing children for a technology driven future and giving them the opportunity to excel.

Stuart originally managed the Southampton branch of ComputerXplorers for two years, and under his guidance and leadership, it grew exponentially and became the biggest ComputerXplorers franchise in the network. In 2021 the opportunity arose for Stuart to purchase the brand from The Bardon Group, which he did with enthusiasm.

Stuart is like any parent and wants his children to have access to the best technology to further their education, and believes ALL children should have the privilege of this education, so it made sense to him to be the head of a company that provides this much needed skill set It was a perfect match!

What’s Our Market?

The market is HUGE…

The need for children to develop computing skills is now widely recognised.

Fluency and familiarity with computers and technology is essential to nurture the future digital generation, and ensure that today’s children become creators of technology and not just passive consumers of it.

Demand is exploding as educators and parents recognise the value of these skills…and of course, the children are having so much fun, they don’t notice how much they are learning!
