TESTIMONIALS

I’d just like to thank David Hardstaff for the wonderful assistance he’s offered. A pleasure to work with and as steady a pair of hands as you could hope to find. Excellent

Anonymous Client

I needed to migrate (quite atrocious) data from an earlier client web application to the new version. However, we encountered speed problems, all of which David either solved or provided a roadmap for future improvements.

Anonymous Client

In addition to getting the job done, David always goes the extra mile. He is very flexible and happy to do extra activities that don’t cover the initial brief. David is a very honest, likeable chap who’s good to have around and I’m happy to put him in front of my clients when necessary.

Anonymous Client

Through his vast knowledge of MS products (in particular Access, Excel and Power BI) and database analytics, David turned a complicated set of client requirements into a polished business analytics dashboard, delivering above and beyond the brief. We are delighted with the outcome and would recommend David’s services to anyone who has requirements in this area.
