Great support – even though I’m at the other end of the M1

Our computers are mission-critical to us as a graphic design business and jps IT has supported us for many years to help keep it all running smoothly and securely. We use Mac and PC, and John is equally at home on them both. John’s knowledge is always right up to date. Even though I am in Derbyshire, remote support means John can help as easily as if I were just down the road.

Not only did I save money, I ended up with the right equipment

I contacted jps IT for advice about laptops, a projector and computer programs. I was very pleased with John’s advice. Since then he has helped me with computer problems, technical purchases, landline and mobile phone choices — and again I saved money.
