‘The professionalism and attention to detail from Venture 1 Consulting is fantastic. Their experience in technology is fantastic and very broad. They’re always very knowledgeable and helpful in terms of resolving our issues as quickly as possible, and they understand what’s important – that comes across whenever they deliver critical projects for us. There hasn’t been a time when we’ve been to Venture 1 with a project and they haven’t been able to assist’.
