Ken Angus, Damien Drake-Brockman and Richard Swindale launched KDR Technology Solutions in 2014. With decades of local IT industry experience, the trio identified a demand for pragmatic, business-oriented solutions in the WA marketplace.

We listened to feedback from our WA customers. Local businesses and organisations were finding it increasingly difficult to source cost-effective, tailored IT solutions to support their plans for improving or expanding operations.
