Abbeytek is run by Gary Whitehead, a highly experienced software developer with many years of programming under his belt.

Starting in the late 1970s, teaching himself basic programming on a Commodore Pet, in 1989 he graduated from York University with a degree in Computer Science and since then has gained a wealth of experience in many varied sectors of the software and engineering business.

His career started with 8 years at Spectra-Tek Ltd. building oil / gas metering systems followed by 2 years at Unidec Systems, designing, selling and installing PCs and networks.

Abbeytek was founded in 1998 in Rosedale Abbey, a picturesque village in the heart of the North York Moors. We’re now based in Pickering, a small town between York and Whitby.
