WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...
"I can’t thank Nick “The IT Gentleman” enough for his brilliant customer care and expertise with getting my business back up and running. I had a computer fault which had shut down manufacturing at the lab.
I called Nick up and he literally dropped everything to come down and help get things up and running again. He worked all evening and into the morning to solve a very complex computer issue. In the end we were back up and milling again with no delay in production. I highly recommend Nick for any of your IT demands.
You wont’ be disappointed."
"My company Hanlaw needed technical IT support at a crucial time in rapid growth stage. Nick was recommended to me by a trusted associate, and lived up to all expectations. His technical knowledge is second to none, and he sorted out my software issues quickly, with minimal disruption to the business.
Nick translated the issues in a non-techy, user-friendly way, and didn’t make me feel stupid when I asked questions! Nick is easy to get on with and I look forward to working with him in future as my business continues to grow.”
"I have used Nick on several occasions over the last couple of years to deal with a variety of complex IT issues that are way beyond my capabilities. Like many small businesses if the IT doesn’t work then business can grind to halt. Nick has always been there when needed. His prompt, good natured and professional response reassures me that he can be relied upon; and as small business it is very important to have such support only a phone call away. I would highly recommend The IT Gentleman"
As owner of both an interior contracting company and a holiday let business, I rely on my IT to provide a live management system for both businesses, providing me with information and updates on current contracts, and providing a live booking management system across multiple platforms.
Until recently, my IT infrastructure was not managing this efficiently or effectively, leaving me uninformed and susceptible to double booking.
After a consultation with Nick Mellor, The IT Gentleman, the picture became clear for the first time and after following his advice, I now have an integrated IT system that works collaboratively across two sites, as well as remotely, by smartphone or laptop.
This may all sound pretty standard form for an IT system, but the difference it has made to the management of my businesses is nothing short of miraculous. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is wondering how to make their lives easier with IT. He really does know his stuff. Thanks again Nick."
“We are a growing firm of modern lawyers: we needed an awesome and responsive IT guru to help to grow our business. In Nick Mellor, we have struck gold. We have been treated like royalty: no question too stupid, with super-fast response rates. The IT equipment he has provided has worked beautifully. We recommend Nick without question.”
"Nick has been invaluable to us over the last few months. As Shine Childcare expand and develop our nurseries we have become increasingly more reliant on IT. Nick has offered help and support in choosing the right solutions for us to meet the needs of new online platforms that track children’s development. It’s important to us that our IT just works, with minimal input and maximum uptime. Nick has made this happen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
"Nick was fast and efficient in response to my query and technical problem. The IT work is always spot on with him finding the easiest route for something to be done on the computer.
For someone who is not IT minded, he shows real patience in explaining things. He’s always pleasant and personable throughout his interactions."
"At it’seeze web design, we always endeavour to provide an excellent level of service, delivered with honesty, reliability and an ongoing understanding that we’ll support our customers for as long as they are with us. When we select suppliers to work with, we always look to work with people who share our values.
The IT Gentleman delivers on all these fronts and more and the number of years that I’ve worked with Nick is testament to that. He provides expert advice, a rapid and reliable level of support and is adept at working with businesses of any size, with a level of patience that is hard to find in other service industries.
He will also charge fairly for his time and not try and baffle people with IT jargon – ensuring his communication is clear, none patronising and focussed on the task in hand. He is a breath of fresh air in the IT industry. Business or residential - do not go to anyone else for your IT requirements. Do not try and bodge things yourself, get a mate to have a look or take your computer to PC world – go to the IT Gentleman and save yourself time, money and hassle."
"As a business we started working with Nick around 4 months ago and I really don’t know how we ever coped without him. He is knowledgeable, friendly and always bends over backwards to help. I recently moved home and was let down by my internet provider, a real problem when you work from home as I do. Within 24 hours Nick had found a temporary solution so that I could keep working. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone needing IT Support."
