I’m Eugenio Leijten, the founder of Blackdown IT Limited, a bespoke web development and IT solutions company nestled in the scenic Blackdown Hills, near Taunton, Somerset. With a lifelong passion for technology and a dedication to empowering local businesses, I established Blackdown IT to deliver tailored digital solutions that help enterprises flourish in today’s online world. My mission is to provide Somerset businesses with professional, high-performing websites and reliable IT support to enhance their brand and streamline operations.
My tech journey began in 1994 when I founded CyberTactics Ltd, a venture that later merged into Retail Technology Limited, which I successfully sold in 2014. Over the past three decades, I’ve immersed myself in diverse IT projects, from software application development to crafting dynamic websites. This extensive experience has honed my skills in coding, user experience (UX) design, and digital strategy, enabling me to create responsive, SEO-optimised websites that deliver tangible results. Living in the Blackdown Hills, I’m inspired by the vibrant Somerset business community, from local retailers to service providers, and I’m committed to helping them build a robust digital presence.

Beyond Blackdown IT, I’m deeply rooted in the Blackdown Hills community. The rolling Somerset countryside inspires my creativity and keeps me grounded.
