“We used the services of Geek-Guru to source and set up our company server and VPN so that we could run our accounts office from remote locations. We contacted 3 separate IT firms to quote on the work. Geek-Guru not only came in the cheapest, they were also the only one not to oversell by quoting for hardware that wasn’t really necessary. Tim’s knowledge was superior to that of the other representatives and his solution was well presented. With regards to delivery of the solution, Geek-Guru went beyond the call of duty in ensuring that the IT Solution was implemented on time and without any hassle. Although the project went without a hitch, Geek-Guru were on hand at all times in case a problem arose.” S.Massey -Alliance Personnel

“Geek Guru were originally contacted in 2007 to quote for a new server when our old system started showing signs of age. Right from the beginning it was apparent that Geek-Guru were both very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the products and solutions they were recommending. We had specific requirements for our remote engineers and their detailed knowledge and experience with setting up similar projects lead us to choose them for the project. The server installation has been a complete success and all the staff and management have been very happy with the outcome. As a result we have been using Geek-Guru since that time for all our IT Support and supply of equipment” -R.White – Fire & Safety Services

“My organisation operates within the voluntary sector and like other sectors IT is pivotal to our success but we lack the resources to employ dedicated IT staff – ” The Geeks” have stepped into this role wonderfully and they feel like family. Geek Guru are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Nothing is too much trouble, they have limitless patience, cheery dispositions and they don’t laugh at my silly questions. They understand the nature of our work and the level of IT we need – I am no longer tearing out my hair and wasting time that would be better spent meeting the needs of our customers - there is help at the end of the phone. They have certainly brought added value to our work. I am delighted to recommend Geek Guru.” – S.Round – St Pauls Crossover

“Geek Guru recently implemented our new IT infrastructure and support contract from an existing provider. Although we were nervous about the migration and takeover, the transition period was planned extremely well and the efficiency of all Geek-Guru staff was impeccable. Their professionalism towards this contract definitely shone through as the business and staff suffered no downtime, which resulted in complete trust with them from the start. The planning of this migration by Geek Guru and the level of support received was exceptional and is still ongoing” -E.Burns – Stephen Betts & Sons Ltd
