As like many companies, its always good to have feedback about the service that you provide and also how you can possibly make it better for others in the future, well below are the reviews so far from some of my clients...
- Aiden Stradling - 2009 - "Many thanks once again for your work installing my new computer.
Everything is going well, and I am busy learning all the new things it can do.
I was very pleased that your skills were able to save me loads of time and effort."
- Andy "The Drum Shop" - "I find that when using computers when you know very little about them you'll ask friends etc how they can help and muddle your way thru and end up with more problems.
I have found with your services that you will try your utmost to get to the route of the problem and are very pleasant to work with at an affordable price.
I find you very easy and a pleasure to deal with."
- Angela Walton - "Hi. For anyone like me, who doesn't really know what they are doing with their computer, and who has a query or a problem, John is brilliant, and doesn't mind the odd e-mail begging for help!"
- Anne Anderson - "It goes without saying that you have been my saviour on numerous occasions.
I would recommend you to everyone as I have done in the past and will do in the future.
Cheers."
- Barry and Joan Anderson - 2008 - "Many congratulations on achieving your first 500 - they are the hardest to get and I have no hesitation in saying the next half century will follow in no time at all.
The mere fact that 2 geriatrics who are only 6 steps beyond the "on/off" switch have not needed to contact you for months speaks volumes itself.
As Mr Boas so rightly says there will be an explosion of the more mature age group contacting you - we have started that.
On the rare occasions we have called for your services you have been prompt, put us on the right track and if anything you are not doing yourself justice with what you charge.
Mind there will be a CONTRACT out on you if you put them up too much.
Prior to being sent in your direction we called out so called I.T. Consultants and they were looking for £70.00p per hour - they didn't last very long.
Best wishes."
- Christine Bell - 2008 - "always a great service from John and have recommended him on numerous occasions. Thanks for all your help."
- Craig Rush - "You know I am one of your valued friends and clients, I think your service is very good and I know if I encounter any problems you are the man for the job.
More than I can say for your driving on the 360 like."
- Emma, Ken and Viv - "You built our computer quickly and efficiently.
You are just a phone call or e-mail away to answer any questions or solve any problems that occur, and if you are not able to solve our problems over the phone, then you always show up within a day or so.
You are always polite whenever we have needed your assistance, and have always offered to take off your shoes so as not to mess up our carpets as our computer is situated in the upper floors of our mansion (as we have many floors in our house which have brilliant white shag pile carpets which were rather expensive) :D
Our jewellery and expensive ornaments have remained with us and not disappeared out the back door in your briefcase :D
Hope this is helpful in your quest to get that elusive 100th client, you never know it may be the head man at Microsoft.
Thanks for all your help in the past and hope you will answer any distress calls in the future."
- Gail Russel - "Well....what can I say!!!!

I'm very grateful for your help."
2008 - "Services still of the highest standard, many thanks"
- John Swan - "I'm really grateful John for the standard of service, calling again on the Sunday was definitely "beyond the call of duty", and I think that's what people get a Victoria Cross for."
- Joyce Bedingfield - "Your phone no. is held in very high regard in my book, may your clientel increase."
- Judith Black - 2008 - "500...WOW! Congrats. and many thanks for helping me out over Bullguard the other day....I did, eventually, get rid of the opening window!"
- Julie McKenzie - "Hi John,
Pleased to hear all is going well for you and you have reached your goal.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to all those technophobes like myself.
Not wanting to temp fate, but we are not having any probs at the moment, but will no doubt in the future and we will be in touch.
Take care."
- Louise Curry - "It would be very difficult to improve on the almost perfect service you give to me personally.
You would only laugh at me if I said 'perfect'
I would just say to you that you are running a business and you have a great future ahead of you.
Think about that and be sensible and do not charge too little for your services.
People might undermine your expertise.
Keep up the good work."
- Louise Sutton - "Hi John, well you are always quick at coming out and exceptionally reasonably priced!
Even though I've no knowledge of computer jargon, you always explain exactly what's up in terms I can understand.
This is paramount and I've even been able to remember what you have done and said and carried out procedures you have advised.
Finally you actually go beyond what has been asked of, adding things to the computer or showing me procedures that enhance operations making it tailor-made for my needs.
I can basically say to you 'this is what I would like to do, can it be done and how'
Good luck and my thanks as always Louise @ The Blacksmiths-Gosforth"
- John Edwards - "John, I think that the help that you've gave me in the past is second to none."
- Margaret Parker - 2008 - "Lovely to hear from you. As you see I am still 'up and running' thanks to you efforts. Well done for the 500!"
- Marja Armstrong - 2008 - "Hi John, congratulations on reaching 500 !!!.
Well done and well deserved.
I can always rely on you to arrive on time and put things right.
I have recommended your services to friends and family.
Keep up the good work."
- Marie Dunlavy - "Computer still running well thanks to your prompt, friendly and knowlegeable service.
I would certainly recommend you to anyone needing your type of service."
- Martin Alan Naisbitt - "Re your message of 4th inst.
I would just like to thank you for your help and your offer to continue same should I need it.
It is very comforting to know that we have available the help of an expert like yourself.
You have not charged me for your help yet and I think you should have made a charge for your time and expertise.
- Maureen Stokoe - 2008 - "I would like to join in the comments and to let the world know how good it is to be able to call you.
You are always cheerful, willing, most able, prompt and last but certainly not least--very reasonable with your charges.
I think most computer owners would find it good to know that you charge according to the work involved and not 'just a figure off the top of your head'.
I strongly recommend you to anyone I know who is having PC problems and know that you will not let them down. Thank you
- Michael Boas - "Well, what can I say.
You understand the technology and showed your commitment not to be bested by the technology.
You turned out on a Sunday [unusual in itself] and presented excellent communication and personal skills.
I really couldn't fault you if I really tried.
My only recommendation is ~ keep doing what you are doing and in the manner you are doing it. :-)
I wouldn't have reservations what so ever ever in recommending you.
Any personal-to-technological interactivity demands empathy and sympathy and you seem to have these traits in abundance.
There is to be an explosion I feel, in the more mature age groups getting techno in the future and your services can only grow exponentially ~ if that is your desire.
- Pat Bridges - "We found johns services invaluable, especially as he was dealing with 2 silver surfers whose knowledge of computers was very limited.
We found him to be very patient, & considerate to our needs, without being patronising.
We learned a lot from john thanks."
- Peter McPartlin - "Regarding your services I have been most satisfied with the fact that you turn up when you say you will unlike a lot of your competion, the prices are reasonable, the communication both onsite and via email is very good all in all I think you provide an exellent service to your customers.
Keep up the good work
Best wishes Peter.............."
- Peter Southey - 2008 - "Thanks very much for your email.
I appreciate your need to receive constructive criticism in order to improve the service that you offer, however, I cannot think of anything negative to say.
I was delighted with the service that you gave me in setting up my computer and printer from scratch - including removing mistakes that Comet made when I bought the computer!
Therefore I can only say thank you and that I would have no hesitation in recommending your service to anyone."
- Rajan Bhudoye - 2008 - "Congratulations on your 500th client, hope I am one of them.
Just to let you know that you are doing a grand job and thanks for helping me out with my Buffalo AirStation and coming back to see that I had done everythhing ok when I was building my Pc.
Fingers Xed, it's still going strong.
Keep it up, Best wishes."
- Richard Hart - 2008 - "Thanks for the mail.
Just to add that everything seems to Hokey Dokey now.
You were really helpful and many thanks once again, especially for being so patient over the phone, when I was being a complete plonker !!!
Many thanks.
Kind regards."
- Scott Family - "Congratulations John.
I sing your praises to everyone I know.
Thanks very much for getting me up and running.
After all the hassle I had you were a STAR.
We were at Rothbury last weekend hundreds of bikes but didn't see you."
- Sean Redford - "Previous service received from you has been fantastic, and also very good value for money, I think it would be hard to improve what you do (apart from bring some choc biscuits with you).
I would not and do not hesitate to recommend your services to friends and family and just hope they're as pleased as I always have been.
Keep it up John first class mate."
Thankyou for your feedback and I hope to maintain a high and if not higher quality of service in the future. - John Stanley, Whitley Bay Computer Services
