Saved us thousands

I am more than happy to provide a testimonial for Eric King because it offers me a rare opportunity to redress the balance. Eric has been in charge of our IT system for close on 20 years now at Toyworld Gympie, and more recently at Twiga Books. During this period he has literally saved us thousands, if not tens of thousands, by his dedicated service to us. In doing this he operated in two ways:- 1/ when upgrades were needed, instead of issuing us with all new equipment, his customary approach is to analyze what needs to be achieved, then advising us on whether to buy new components, or whether we can use the existing ones without jeopardizing the whole system – this approach has saved us thousands over the years. 2/ by keeping the system running reliably for 365 days a year, year after year. This included the technically challenging period whilst we were changing from a DOS based system to a windows based one. This was achieved, seamlessly during a week end while the shop was closed, after much painstaking preparation. Likewise, we were all worried at the turn of the century about the”Y2K” bug, and again, the transition to the new millennium proved to be a seamless non-event. So, all in all, there is much for which we are grateful attributable to Eric’s sterling efforts. The IT system is at the heart of our business, and, like most other businesses, knowing that it is in good hands, contributes much to our peace of mind. Core to Kingsway’s success is Eric’s decent values and work ethic, and he is as honest as the day is long. What you see is what you get, and we know that our IT system is in good hands, and it’s not costing us an arm and a leg!! As I said at the start, I am happy to be able to provide this reference for Eric, for his excellent contribution to life’s great canvas. Cheers,
