We contacted Wight Computers through their listing on the local authority Trading Standards sight. Andrew arrived for an initial meeting with a list of questions which covered every aspect on which we had queries. This alone inspired confidence and throughout the planning and installation process that confidence continued. We remain very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of Wight Computers Ltd.

Very helpful and willing. Expertly knowledgeable in all areas of our business IT and excellent in Layman explanations. The huge task of transferring our overladen server to the cloud was tackled in the background for us ( a lot of work for Wight Computers, wrestling with MS, to make the impossible possible.. )
We now, also have a robust method to work remotely ( which cant corrupt our sensitive files ) and everything needs much less of our attention. Seems like there's nothing they don't know.
