About Us

Machew LLP was formed by Dylan Mackey and Christopher Chew in April 2019.

Dylan worked as a 3D Animator for Aircom Education in the late 1990's, creating educational content which was used for the Times Education Series of Multimedia CD-ROMS, as well as developing training materials for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, Ordnance Survey, Nokia and Ericsson. Dylan realised that the Internet was the way forward, and re-trained as a web developer in order to help Aircom create one of the first online subscription services for schools in the UK (The Education Highway). Having later joined Cygnet IT as Internet Support Officer, he proposed and then built a web service for schools which enabled them to manage their own websites. The service proved very popular with schools in Sutton.

Christopher is an experienced and talented coder who has developed bespoke systems for a variety of companies. When Christopher joined Cygnet he was able to use his knowledge of coding to take the website for schools system (formerly called MISite) to the next level. Christopher has built an intuitive administration system, which is now used by charities, clubs and local government departments. There are no unnecessary or gimmicky features cluttering up the admin interface, which makes it perfect for use by non-technical people.

Shortly after leaving Cygnet, Dylan & Christopher took on the website customers from Cygnet IT, so some of the customer sites they currently host and support have been with them for over 12 years.
