About the Company
Founded over a decade ago, our client has built a solid reputation in Education, Charity and Commercial sectors for delivering tailored IT Solutions. They have also developed a sound reputation for planning, building and integrating BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) solutions at a number of large and small schools. Their success is founded on a simple principle that each customer and each solution need to be investigated, quoted, planned and delivered based on its own success criteria, as the same solution does not necessarily meet the requirements of all customers.
