Testimonials

"Working in a large corporate, Roy was able to present strategic ideas to a senior level and adopt his thoughts and thinking to blend with the values of the business. Roy’s high level of technical product knowledge is impeccable, and proved invaluable time and time again. Roy gained trust amongst the organisation and became a support function for key business decisions and technical direction. "

"After asking for help from our network organisation via Wirral council, only Roy came forward to help us from hundreds of companies contacted. As a successful consultancy company, this was not a service he usually provides but he gave his time and expertise to fix our critically damaged database. Although we have not employed Roy’s consultancy services, if I were looking to do so, this is an individual I would want to do business with."

"I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Roy for the professional work he does."
