We’ve been with Farpoint since we started Osborne Pike in 2002. Wandering around Bath in search of a bank, accountant, solicitor, and all the usual start-up necessities, we were surprised to see the iconic Apple sign hanging outside a small shop on a side street. We discovered to our surprise that this was a small but perfectly formed Apple dealership in Bath, and we ordered the latest Macs immediately. As a bonus Farpoint were also able to rent us a top quality laser printer, so we could get started straight away.

Being a start-up we didn’t have an IT manager, and we probably never will. That’s because Mark Hooper is always extremely helpful when it comes to the technical and even the administrative support that comes with setting up a computer network. As we’ve grown Mark has supplied all our Mac workstations and screens, our servers, and he’s also helped us move the whole lot twice. On top of that we get the latest updates of ‘kit’, to use what I believe is the technical term, every 18 months, so we’re always working with state of the art equipment.

Farpoint has now grown and developed as part of the Apple success story, and their new showroom is as cool and trendy as you’d expect from a company that now deals with i-pod, i-tunes and i-everything consumers as well as businesses. But I’m pleased to say that we still get very responsive and competitively-priced service from Mark and his team, and I would thoroughly recommend Farpoint to any business, either starting up or looking to upgrade its network (and who want to make sure it works!)
