About us
VB4, VB5 and VB6 developers are a dying breed. Here's why businesses across the UK should come to Adrian at VB Rescue when no one else can help.
Adrian has been writing software professionally since 1997 — he was working with Visual Basic before most of today's developers had started school.
Working with Visual Basic 6 since its heyday — and still going. We know every quirk, runtime error, and edge case the language throws at you.
Microsoft ended VB6 support in 2008. Yet it continues to power critical systems in manufacturing, logistics, finance and local government throughout the UK.
Computer science graduates have never touched it. The pool of people who can genuinely fix and extend VB6 systems is tiny — and shrinking every year.
Why VB Rescue
VB6, VB.NET and C# — all three. That means we can stabilise your existing system today and migrate it to modern .NET when you're ready, without switching developers.
Every job is quoted as a fixed price before work begins. No hourly rate surprises, no scope creep charges. You know exactly what you'll pay — full stop.
We're based near Cambridge, work UK business hours, and understand the kinds of industries and systems common here. Available remotely across the UK — no offshore handoffs, no timezone delays.
We'll always tell you upfront if we think a job is outside our scope or not worth pursuing. We don't take on work we can't deliver — and if a diagnostic reveals something unfixable, there's no charge for our time.
