Gina Solano
Business Development
Experience: Gina was originally recruited to work at The Computer Workshop Group in August 2020 after 18 years in the advertising and digital marketing industry. Chris was her client for 14 years, starting from when he was the owner of The Laptop Man Townsville, to when he started On The Road Computers and then when he opened The Computer Workshop Townsville. Gina has watched Chris’s business grow over the years from a one-man operation to the team he now employs. Even though Gina enjoyed her work, the challenge of taking on a new role where she could employ her people skills and her desire to help businesses improve efficiency while reducing costs was too good an opportunity to refuse. Gina’s professionalism is unparalleled, and she is revered by her colleagues. She is a leader in her field. She left us for a brief 2 years from 2023-2025 when she went back into advertising. During that time, we all kept in touch, and everyone was delighted when she decided to come back to the fold in June 2025. It was like she’d never left. She deftly slipped back into her role as Business Development.
