“Before WestSpring came along we were in a bit of a pickle with our IT provider with continuous problems.  Jason & Phil came to our rescue and replaced our server, network and firewall and implemented a new back-up procedure.

Throughout these works, there was minimal disruption to us operating as a business and they were in the office to help with any issues that cropped up.  Since then our IT systems are working better than ever. We have regular site visits and have access to reports showing how our devices are operating.  WestSpring are a brilliant proactive company, who are always on hand to help, regardless of how many times a day we ring them!!  At last we have confidence in our IT provider.  Thank you WestSpring!”
