CURLBROOK IT COMPANY CLOSURE
EFFECTIVE 1 MAY 2025

It has been decided that the time has come to wind up Curlbrook IT. Having passed my 90th birthday I have finally been persuaded to fully retire. For the last two years we have avoided accepting any new commissions and all our maintenance contracts have been completed.

I'd like to give my grateful thanks to all my past associates and assistants without whom, many of our larger contracts would not have been possible.

My sincere thanks also go to all our clients who have supported the company over the last 40 years.

I have deliberately left the small bio of the company on this page for the interest of anyone accessing the page for the first time.

Curlbrook History


Curlbrook was set up by Ken Wheeler more than forty years ago. Ken studied computer programming on a post-graduate course at UCLA whilst working for a British company in Los Angeles in the mid 1970s.

Over the years, specialist contracts for software development were placed with Curlbrook from several major companies (including Seiko Timing for the Barcelona Olympics).

Many of the companies for whom we worked had large IT departments of their own but came to us for our knowlege and skill at low-level programming.

Web development was a natural progression and sites have been created for large and small businesses all over the UK.
