Neway Technology Limited is the company name behind the consultancy services of Wayne Foster and associated freelance resources. An IT professional with circa 25 years of global, enterprise systems experience - aiming to provide strategic, tactical and operational thought leadership across the eCommerce space. We provide a wealth of services that give you the digital edge, at a fraction of the cost of full time employees...
We have had the privilege to work with - and continue to work with some of the world’s greatest brands. Spanning the globe - helping clients in the US, Ireland and UK - we are well versed in remote working. Video calls are great - but nothing beats a face to face chat - and we have several clients that are local to our base in Newcastle-under-Lyme. From builders merchants and business consultants through to potbanks - we’re proud to be working with local firms - some that reach far back into our great Potteries heritage.
Advising across all web based digital touchpoints - we aim to align the needs of the business with timely and budget relevant IT solutions. Currently this involves a number of SaaS based providers meshing with the Shopify or Drupal ecosystem. Heavily leaning into the mantra of “do not reinvent the wheel” - we analyse routes to deliver required functionality keeping cost, performance, time to delivery and code maintenance overhead in mind.
We work well alongside existing marketing departments - whether they be digital specialists or not. We provide expertise around the technical aspects of your digital journey - being mindful of the resource you have in house. Each client receives their own project management solution, documentation bundle that evolves as we progress - and of course - a direct dial to chat whenever you need to.
Our biggest accolade is the number of long terms partnerships we have built over the years - some now into double digits. Read about what our customers say about working with us.
I continue to work with Wayne across different industries because of his deep expertise and meticulous attention to detail. Our first project involved untangling a complex web of DNS records to determine their functions and whether they were still necessary. Right away, Wayne identified two high-risk records that, if left unaddressed, could have caused us to lose control over key top-level domains tied to our Shopify setup. What truly sets Wayne apart isn’t just the work we ask him to do, it’s the proactive insights and solutions he brings to the table that we didn’t even know we needed.
Working with Wayne at Neway Tech has been an absolute pleasure. He was instrumental in helping us bring a really complex idea to life — a marketplace platform with multiple sellers, all running through a credits-based payment system built on Drupal. It wasn’t a simple setup, but Wayne guided us through it with real expertise. Not only did he build a fully functioning system that works beautifully, but he also continues to support us with regular maintenance and updates to keep everything running smoothly. He’s brilliant at what he does, especially when it comes to Drupal and payment integrations. On top of that, Wayne is just a genuinely lovely person to work with. He’s friendly, approachable, and completely gets that sometimes you want to handle bits yourself to help manage costs — and he supports that. I always feel like we’re working in partnership, not just paying for a service. We’re really grateful for all his help and can’t recommend him highly enough.
Tectime has been working with Wayne for 9 years and his conscientious attitude and willingness to always listen to any feedback has resulted in a great working relationship. Not only did he provide a modern cutting-edge website, but also a custom solution to deliver our product licences to our customers. During this time the uptime has been spot on, and I have always been informed well in advance of upgrades. Thankyou for your professionalism, I can’t praise enough the service Wayne and his company has provided.
If none of the below makes any sense - that’s fine - we’re here to hold your hand. But if they do - and you need help in a particular area - get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
Having in interest in computers from an early age - a flair for academic mathematics that led to a degree in Computer Science was the foundation for a career in the IT industry. A tenure with a global consulting group was followed by expanding out the eCommerce solution for an iconic group of brands - Wedgwood, Royal Doulton and Waterford. The company was formed in 2010 - and maintains some of its original clients. During downtime a keen interest in home cinema & automation is well received by the family. Fitness regimes include Spin, Ju-Jitsu, Pilates, Gym classes and hill walking. Appointments in Scouting and a Governor position on the board of a local school complete the picture.
