Meet Marleen

Hi, Iā€™m Marleen, a local mum and founder of Tech Aid.

I work alongside small businesses to provide IT support that goes beyond quick fixes from day-to-day help to strategic cyber security and system oversight.

I also support individuals and families who want patient, practical guidance with their devices and online safety.

Technology should feel manageable, not overwhelming.

Thatā€™s what Tech Aid is here for.

The Word Around Town

  • "If you are looking for a computer technician don't hesitate to contact Marlene. Fantastic service, very prompt and great communication. Would highly recommend"

    F Sloan

  • ā€œI had no idea where to start with my new laptop, but Marleen made it so easy. She set everything up, explained things clearly, and didnā€™t make me feel silly for asking questions. It was such a relief!ā€

    ā€” Helen, Te Anau

  • ā€œMarleen helped me sort out my emails and get my phone and laptop talking to each other something that had been frustrating me for months. Sheā€™s patient, friendly, and explains things in a way that actually makes sense.ā€

    ā€” Rob | Manapouri

I know not everyone gets excited about a tidy tech setup... but I honestly do. This week I’ve been helping a few local businesses sort out their gear, quicker Wi-Fi, no more syncing problems, regular backups, and way less cable chaos. Nothing
