British Eventing Ltd want to send huge thanks to Connor and all at Cloud Payments for a really good job replacing 2 systems and installing 1 new system, including data migration, in the space of 5 months. The team have been responsive and listened to all our complex needs, met their deadlines in plenty of time, all with minimum fuss and minimum guidance after the initial specification.

I have worked with a number of Salesforce consultants over many years and can honestly say I have never come across one as capable and knowledgeable as Connor. It is always easy to contact him, and his response time in dealing with problems is really impressive. I couldn't recommend him highly enough!
