EMPLOYER FEEDBACK
University of the west of England
Dr Tim Moss
I have found Dominic to be an able and helpful contractor. He has worked well to implement the project as described, and identifed and resolved a number of issues that arose along the way. Dominic ensured that the project has been a success. In particular, I valued how the programmer was available and accessible for email and phone conversation about the work. Thanks a lot for a good project.
Ignition Risk Management Ltd
Stephen Raine
We had an urgent requirement to transfer our web application to a secure server, implement a SSL certificate and get the application running in time for a BSI assessment of our ISO 27001 Information System Security standard. Because of delays from the existing provider Dominic only received the source of the system the day before the BSI visit. We were delighted after Dominic achieved the setup in time for the BSI. Overall Dominic has delivered an excellent service and we have compared their costs against other companies and they have been very competitive. I have no hesitation in recommending his services. He will also be building the new driver management system for us in the coming year.
