Gate-A-Mation Ltd.

“We were having problems with our existing IT company, which couldn’t keep up with what we needed. We called in Andy last year and he identified what we needed, and supplied it. I know I can call on him 24x7 if we have a problem, and he will resolve it. It is unusual to find someone so flexible and sensitive to our needs, and I have total trust in both his support and his honesty and transparency on costs. This is the most cost-effective way we’ve found to get the IT we want, and to keep it up and running.”

Phil Bowring
Managing Director, Gate-A-Mation Ltd.

Gate-A-Mation has established a leading position in the supply and installation of automatic gates and access control barriers over 20 years in business. Synergy took over their IT systems last year, supplying servers, networking and support. “Synergy,” says MD Phil Bowring, “is, in my experience, an exceptional company. The pricing is always realistic and honest, the recommendations and advice are never shrouded in jargon, and Andy is always open minded about looking for solutions that will fit the way we run the business, rather than what will fit the ‘standard’ IT framework.”

Bayliss Clarke Wealth Management Ltd.

“I have to say that Synergy has given us the most comprehensive and tailor-made solutions to all our specific, and sometimes complicated, IT needs. Synergy has done work for three companies I am involved with, and has delivered a consistently high standard of work and out-of-hours support. That is critical in operations where downtime can carry a massive cost in terms of lost business. I would recommend Synergy to anyone.”

Grahame Boiardini
Managing Director, Bayliss Clarke Wealth Management Ltd.

Synergy has provided consultancy, servers, desktops, laptops and out-of-hours support to Bayliss Clarke, including full remote access features and the provision of VPN links between the MD’s home and all 3 office sites. “Wherever I am, I am in touch with the business, and I’m always confident that any problems will be resolved quickly and efficiently.  I work longer hours than most and am confident that I can call Andy when I am having a problem out of hours and know that he will resolve my problems and allow me to continue working.” www.baylissclarke.co.uk


John Kirk Wilson Architects Ltd.

“In our work, poor IT service can impact the business in a very rapid and devastating way. Massive amounts of productivity can be lost in a business which is so heavily IT-oriented. Andy was recommended to us, and two and a half years ago rescued us from an IT nightmare, helped us put our technical arguments and win compensation, and installed a system that simply works. That’s the way we like it. The technicalities of IT are Andy’s domain, and we are free to get on with our own areas of expertise.”

John Wilson
John Kirk Wilson Architects

John Kirk Wilson, as an architect’s practice, is heavily IT-oriented. Software is critical, with networked CAD and file-sharing being essential. ”I am now 100% confident,” says John Wilson, “that the IT operations that are essential to the business are in the best hands. No hassle. No fuss. Synergy’s customer service just works, and I know that Andy is always there to fix essential IT, 24 hours a day.”
