Tech it Easy
What is Tech it Easy?
Tech it Easy makes modern technology easy for non-techies.
So if you feel technology has left you behind, Tech it Easy is perfect for you!
Who Does Tech it Easy?
Tech it Easy is run by David Withington.
Why?
Well, after 40 years of working with technology, David took early retirement to start doing more of the things he enjoys in life.
But when friends began telling him modern technology was too complicated, he decided to do something about it.
Technology has left me behind
That’s when he started Tech it Easy. It began as a workshop-style community group at The Edge in Wigan.

You can read about the humble beginnings of Tech it Easy here.
Nowadays, David does Tech it Easy as enrichment lectures on cruise ships around the world.
But his heart is still in Wigan where it all began.
Where Can I Attend a Tech it Easy Talk?
If you go on a cruise, David might be onboard doing a few talks.
Or, if you’re in Wigan, you could pop into The Edge on one of the Wednesday evenings that Tech it Easy is on. We try to keep to a monthly schedule, but that’s not always possible nowadays with the cruise schedules.
If you run a group and would like David Withington to do a Tech it Easy talk at your event, please feel free to get in touch.

What Happens at Tech it Easy Events?
On cruise ships, the presentations are run as lectures, usually in the comfortable theatre.
David has created each presentation round multimedia. So lots of video clips and interesting slides – hey, definitely NOT “death-by-Powerpoint”!
And back home in Wigan, we try to make Tech it Easy interactive. More workshop-style.
Audience members often say they find the Tech it Easy presentations interesting, helpful and entertaining. Oh, and often funny.
What People Say About Tech it Easy
Tech it Easy Facebook Comments after a 2025 cruise
One gentleman, Ian Hocking, a retired Education Consultant, now a dance teacher on cruise ships, volunteered this testimonial to David:
“On the basis of assessing over ten thousand lessons, lectures and presentations, it was my pleasure to observe each of David’s Tech it Easy sessions on a recent cruise. I judge David’s presentations to be up there amongst the top 5% thus ranking him as an outstanding speaker. His in-depth knowledge of the world of technology readily equips him to present complex concepts in a readily accessible manner for the lay person. His presentations are well paced, factual, relevant and supported by high quality handouts. I urge anyone in need of such guidance to attend his sessions which are delivered with great humour by this very affable man.”
Needless to say, David was rather chuffed to receive that.
