Testimonials

  • “ABS has looked after us for a long time and we have always been happy with their service. However, this last couple of weeks they have excelled themselves – resolving problems with our computer system and then helping us get back online while we had a severe broadband outage. Many thanks! Highly recommended.”

    Banks Music Publications

  • “Switching to ABS was seamless. They now manage all our IT, from cybersecurity and mobile contracts to daily support and Microsoft tenancy. The team is proactive, offering valuable compliance advice and future-focused recommendations. We fully trust ABS and highly recommend them.”

    Annabelle Lofthouse Breakthrough Case Management

  • “Reliable IT support is vital to our business. ABS has become a trusted partner who understands the importance of what we do and supports us with professionalism and expertise. Their helpdesk is responsive and approachable, and their hardware solutions have saved us both time and money. With ABS managing our systems, we have complete confidence that our technology is secure, efficient, and capable of supporting the high-quality care we provide every day. We are extremely happy with the friendly and responsive team at ABS and we wholeheartedly trust the service we receive.”

    Leila Bagi RGN HLG Complex Care

  • “ABS provides dependable IT and print support that we can rely on day in, day out. Their service is straightforward, responsive, and cost-effective, which gives us confidence that our systems will work when we need them to. We moved to ABS for better reliability and pricing, and the service has been consistently solid. We would recommend ABS to any construction business looking for a reliable, no-nonsense technology partner.”

    Jo Ashworth Edwards Excavations

  • “Working with ABS has made a huge difference across our nurseries. Having reliable machines at each site has streamlined our admin processes and made day-to-day tasks so much easier. Being able to print directly from tablets has added great flexibility for our staff, and we love that our copiers are environmentally friendly, which fits perfectly with our ethos. The ABS team are always friendly, professional, and helpful, and we know we can rely on them whenever we need support. We would happily recommend ABS to any organisation looking for a dependable and cost-effective print partner.”

    Anna Friend New Moon Nurseries

  • “Before working with ABS, dealing with a print supplier was something I genuinely dreaded. Since partnering with ABS, that perspective has completely changed. Everyone I interact with, whether the admin team, engineers, or salespeople, is consistently professional, helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. I could not recommend ABS more highly to any organisation looking for a reliable, approachable, and cost-effective printing and IT partner.”

    Christine Beal My Mito Mission

  • “We’ve been working with ABS for over 20 years, since our roots were planted at King Cross to now working across 4 sites in Calderdale. They have always provided a reliable and responsive service, understanding our needs particularly as we have grown both in physical sites and our online use. It is reassuring to have worked with the same account manager over the years, to have a familiar face that we can trust to support us on a day-to-day and long term basis as our needs change and grow.”

    Verity Moody The Next Step Trust

  • “Smooth-running IT is critical to our business continuity. We have been supported by ABS for over 15 years, and I can honestly say we have never had any periods of inactivity caused by IT failures. As an ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited agency it is vital that our IT partner matches these standards so that we can be audited each year with confidence, and that the assurances we give to our customers is matched throughout our supply chain. We would highly recommend ABS to agencies and other businesses that need assurances in their IT provision.”

    Andrew Firth Ascensor

  • “We have been extremely impressed with the systems that ABS have put in place; it has not only helped us to save money, but has also saved us time with regards to reporting, maintenance and ink and toner orders, which are now done automatically when machines are running low. The transition period was surprisingly smooth; ABS recycled a large number of our old machines which meant we did not have the inconvenience of removing them. ABS understood our business and its needs and provided us with a solution that has exceeded expectations in terms of improving our efficiency.”

    Michaela Bruszniewski Practice Manager at Eaton Smith Solicitors

  • “From day one ABS have provided an exemplary service, from the installation of the new machines and software to customer support provided over the phone. The systems introduced have made staff aware of the costs involved and this will result in our school making a significant saving over the next few years, freeing up funds to be spent on areas where they are needed.”

    Rob Laycock School Business Manager at Savile Park Primary School

  • “Moving to a managed-print solution service has not only helped us financially, but has also brought time and user-friendly benefits. All of our devices now come from the same supplier, which helps alleviate redundant inks and toners when a machine breaks down. The ordering of toners is done automatically by ABS, so there is no need for different parts of the group to order their own inks and toners. The same applies if a machine is faulty. We took a great deal of time to assess the market before making a decision and we very much hope our partnership with ABS continues.”

    Andrew Baker I.T group co-ordinator / architect at Marshall Construction Group

  • “We enlisted the help of ABS after becoming concerned about our spiralling printing costs and the impact on the environment through wasted print. The new system installed by ABS has made everyone mindful about what and why they are printing. It is easy to follow, simple to use and certainly makes a difference.”
