our team

Experience: As many of our clients know, we pride ourselves on being local to Townsville, with a great understanding, and respect for our many customers in Clermont, Cloncurry, and all over North Queensland. With this being said, when the boss sees talent in people, he will go above and beyond to secure them for his team. Jessi is a prime example! With her previous role, she worked as a sales representative to The Computer Workshop Group, and it was her knowledge, her phone manner, and her personality that was adored by all. When her position was made redundant, Chris moved forward offering her a role here at The Computer Workshop Group where she is assisting in so many ways through calls, client liaison, marketing and of course, sales.

Experience: Denise dedicated over 18 years to a career in retail, progressing to the role of Manager. During this period, she crossed paths with Chris and David from The Computer Workshop Group. In 2021 Denise had her son and after maternity leave, she opted for a career change and left her previous employer of 13 years and embraced a part-time role in business administration. Around 12 months later, Chris unexpectedly contacted her with a job opportunity at The Computer Workshop Group, she didn’t take it, but after a few months she reached out to Chris to see if the position was still available, and the position was filled by then, despite of that, Chris invited her for a meeting on the same day for a chat and with open arms, he welcomed her to join the team, and Denise commenced work the following day. She felt like the universe was telling her that she was meant to be here all along!

Experience: With a passion for Information Communications and Technology, Travis excelled in his studies and brought that same energy and curiosity to his role with us. We look forward to seeing him grow and thrive in this next chapter of his career.

Experience: Patina graduated from high school in 2016 and began her career in hospitality. She progressed to become one of the cooks and completed her Certificate III in Health Support Services. However, she realized that her true passion lay in customer service. After moving to Townsville and working in the food industry for another year, Patina came across an Entry Level Administration position. She immediately recognized The Computer Workshop from her time in Clermont. Although she had no prior experience in administration, Patina was eager to learn and enthusiastically accepted the opportunity when she was offered the position.

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.

Experience: : In his spare time Jonno enjoys dismantling and fixing broken electronics and machinery. He has become quite competent at combing through the internet to research and find solutions and excels at following instructions with attention to detail. He built his first gaming PC and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of selecting the right components, perfecting cable management and tuning BIOS settings until it was as fast and efficient as possible.

Experience: Aden brings deep experience in software development, driven by a need to understand how things work from the inside out. That curiosity started with computers — the rabbit hole of "how does this actually work?" led him from Windows to Linux, and eventually through years of study trying to understand how keystrokes become pixels on a screen. He served as computer technician at Cleveland Youth Detention Centre, where he designed and built a system enabling inmates to safely access the internet. He later worked at BAE Systems Australia, where his contributions were instrumental in winning a national innovation award. Aden joined The Computer Workshop in 2025, bringing a clear vision for how better systems could eliminate double-handling and unnecessary paperwork — improving outcomes for both the team and its clients.
