What?
C.O.S. Computing is a company that offers I.T. consultancy to home users and small/medium business's alike.
We aim to be as diverse as possible in our support, wether it is a printer that won't print to a full rebuild of your pc or supplying anew laptop/desktop to a full wired/wireless network rollout, we will give you an honest/impartial opinion at competetive rates.
There is no job that is too small (we had an instance where a users mouse wasn't working - it turned out to be unplugged) and all jobs are carried out professionally and to the highest standards.
We tailor our needs to your requirements and budget and are always on hand to answer any queries you may have.
Where?
Based in Barking, C.O.S. Computing are within easy reach of london and the M25, giving us a centralized support point for the South of England. Our motto is "Have car - will travel", so no matter where you are based, you are never too far to be helped.
Why?
C.O.S. Computing was formed by myself, David Hall, during the early part of 2005.
Having worked for a large distributor and one of the largest bookmakers in the UK, I felt I wasn't achieving my full potential. I was restricted by management and fell in to a "routine" of I.T. support.
I have always been on hand to help out friends with computer related problems and after some encouragement and support, I decided that I would like to use my experience to be able to help others.
This way we can offer good, solid support for very low prices and hope that we build a reputation that speaks for itself.

About Dagenham - Essex
Dagenham is a suburban town in east London, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, situated 12 miles (19.3 km) east of Charing Cross.
Dagenham as Dæccanhaam is first recorded in a charter of Barking Abbey dating from 687 AD. The first ever area of Dagenham was almost certainly just a small farmstead, the ham or farm of a man called Daecca, as Dæccan means home of a man called Dæcca.
History.
On the corner of Whalebone Lane and the Eastern Avenue, diagonally opposite the Moby-Dick public house, is the site of a Saxon moot hall. The adjoining fields were used during World War II by the Royal Artillery as an anti-aircraft battery before being converted into a Prisoner of War camp for Germans. Further south down Whalebone Lane on the corner of the High Road is the Tollgate pub. This stands on the site of the milestone which marked the ten mile (16 km) limit from the City of London and the turnpike toll-gate.
Valence House is in Becontree Avenue and it is the only surviving of the five manor houses of Dagenham. Dating back to the 13th century it is sited in parkland and is partially surrounded by a moat. Valenc House is the borough's local history museum and art gallery, displaying an impressive collection of artifacts and archives that tell the story of the lives of the people of Barking and Dagenham.
In 1854, a station was opened on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway in the south of Dagenham, near the Thames, at Dagenham Dock. In 1885 a new direct route from Barking to Pitsea, via Upminster, was built with a new station opened just north of the village.
In 1205 Dagenham was large enough to have a chaplain and the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul was probably built at around that time.
Dagenham was still an undeveloped village, when building of the vast Becontree estate by the London County Council began in the early 1920s. The building of the enormous estate, which also spread into the neighbouring parishes of Ilford and Barking, caused a rapid increase in population.
In 1932 the electrified District Line of the London Underground was extended to Upminster through Dagenham with stations opened as Dagenham and Heathway and today called Dagenham East and Dagenham Heathway. Dagenham East was the location of the Dagenham East rail crash in 1958. Services on the London Tilbury & Southend line at Dagenham East were withdrawn in 1962.
Local government and politics
Dagenham was an ancient, and later civil, parish in the Becontree hundred of Essex. The Metropolitan Police District was extended to include Dagenham in 1840. The parish formed part of the Romford Rural District from 1894.
The expansion of the Greater London conurbation into the area caused the review of local government structures and it was suggested in 1920 that the Dagenham parish should be abolished and its area divided between Ilford Urban District and Barking Town Urban District.[5] Separately, the London County Council proposed that its area of responsibility should be expanded beyond the County of London to cover the area. Instead, in 1926 the Dagenham parish was removed from the Romford Rural District and became an urban district.
In 1938, in further recognition of its development, Dagenham became a municipal borough. In 1965 the Municipal Borough of Dagenham was abolished and its former area became part of the London Borough of Barking, which is now known as Barking and Dagenham
Industry and commerce.
In 1931 the Ford Motor Company relocated from Trafford Park, Manchester, to Dagenham, which was already the location of supplier Briggs Motor Bodies. A 500 acre (2 km²) riverside site was developed to become Europe's largest car plant, a vast vertically integrated site with its own blast furnaces and power station, importing iron ore and exporting finished vehicles. By the 1950s Ford had taken over Briggs at Dagenham and its other sites at Doncaster, Southampton, Croydon and Romford. At its peak the Dagenham plant had 4 million square feet (371600 m²) of floor space and employed 40,000. On February 20, 2002, full production was discontinued due to overcapacity in Europe and the relative difficulty of upgrading the 60 year old site compared with other European sites such as Velencia and Cologne. Other factors leading to the closure of the Auto-assembly line were the need of the site for the new Diesel Centre of Excellence, which produces half Ford's Diesel Engines worldwide and the UK employment laws when compared to Spanish, German and Belgian laws. Ford offered a good redundancy package, billed as one of the best in UK manufacturing. It is the location of the Dagenham wind turbines.
