Report
Granite 5 were recommended to us and we are very pleased we found them for our website support, hosting, maintenance and upgrade. As a fast-growing BioTech, we were looking for a support company that would be very responsive to our website requests and issues, and we found that in Granite 5. We had the option to choose a big US firm but after holding meetings with both, we chose Granite5 as they offered what we were looking for. Its been great working with Christian and James for several month now, long may it continue.
