San-iT
We are a computer support company owned and run by Barry and Louise Lowe and looking after clients across the North West. We've been around since 2007, when Barry left the world of corporate IT to create his own IT support company. He was keen to help small and medium sized businesses make the most of what technology can offer. He was also determined to provide a service that recognised people using IT need support just as much as their computers do. The approach worked: The business quickly outgrew its kitchen table beginnings, and we now operate from two-floor offices close to the station in Cheadle Hulme. The clients who joined us in those early days are still with us, and we're constantly adding more. We think there are two reasons for our success: One, we're pretty competent when it comes to computers. We've achieved Microsoft Silver Partner status - proving 'consistent capability, expertise, and commitment', in Microsoft's own words - and we're working towards Gold. Two, we like people and we care about how we treat them. When we're recruiting, we only take on staff who share the same outlook. They need to know their stuff - and they must be able to communicate clearly and to enjoy helping people. Geek speak is banned (at least when customers are around).
