It’s been over a year since we joined Wight Computers for our IT support, where does time go? Thought I would register some appreciation to Andrew and the team for the support they provide us.

Hose Rhodes Dickson have received IT support in the past from an individual and from a national company. To be fair we only moved from both of those due to the circumstances of the individuals looking after us. At the time I was disappointed at the enforced change.

All that said I am now very grateful because working with your team has been a pleasure and will continue to be so I am sure. I seem to have very little to do in respect of the company's IT these days, principally because everything is taken care of by the Wight Computers team very efficiently. I would also add that I don’t feel I need to question cost because they automatically come to us with the most cost effective way of doing things, I am a stickler for having the right tools for the job.

Employing over 78 people presumably means we have around 78 computers! It is quite a task keeping on top of that number even with a proactive and preventative approach.

I am sure our business relationship will continue long into the future.

As always, Andrew and his team are incredibly helpful, informative and generous with their time. They are friendly, thoughtful and have been very
supportive whenever we have needed them over the past 6 years.
