2025 will see Soltech IT continue to donate IT equipment to school's throughout the Southwest as part of our 'Giving Back To Schools' donation campaign. 


We were delighted to be able to donate more than £15,000 of 65" and 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreens to six local schools and MAT's.


Gareth Jones, commented "As a business it's great to be able to give something back to schools, be they a customer or not. Our most recent donations have helped transform the learning environments of pupils which is something we are very proud of."


These most recent donations have not only included a 65" or 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreen, the schools have also received WiFi module upgrades, Android functionality, wall mounting brackets and relevant cables, plus delivery, removal / WEEE disposal of old equipment, installation and training, all as part of Soltech IT's donation.


That's around a £3,000 donation at each school or MAT.

From favourite pieces of tech to the best part of their job, as part of our our latest blog series, get to know our Soltech IT team a little better.

Caroline Roper recently joined the Soltech IT team as our new IT Technician. Below is a little bit more about her!

Describe your role at Soltech IT.
My main role at Soltech IT is to provide on site and remote IT support to schools. This is something close to my heart as I have 3 children of my own and I love helping the children get the most out of todays technology. I also provide day to day support to the many businesses Soltech IT look after whenever I’m in the office.

What skills do you think you bring to your role?
I have been involved in IT since I graduated from Plymouth University with my computing degree in 1996. I have loved all things tech since I was little when I used to watch my brother create Spectrum games from scratch. I like to think I bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role and hope to help the schools and businesses embrace and benefit from todays technology.
What is your favourite piece of tech or gadget?
My favourite gadget is my Apple Watch. I love it and very rarely leave the house without it.
Outside of work what is your favourite thing to do in your spare time?
I really do love technology so I can mostly be found on my iPad or laptop tinkering with the latest programs or trying to find new technology to explore.

What are you listening to/ reading/ watching at the moment?
My favourite band is U2, who I have loved since I was 12, but at the moment I am very into The Wombats recent music. I love any music with a message or that is thought provoking. I don’t read very much anymore but I do love any Sci-Fi movies, Guardians of the Galaxy being a particular favourite.

Who would you invite (real, fictional, dead or alive) to your dream dinner party?
I would have to invite Bono as any dinner party with Bono at the table would be an interesting one. I would then have to add Robert Downey Jr, Lee Evans and Chris Moyles! What a dinner party that would be!
