"As a firm of Chartered Accountants we are often asked for advice and help by clients on IT matters - we do have some internal expertise but we chose to join WMita for two main reasons. Firstly to give us access to a pool of knowledge and experience, which would broaden the scope of the service we already offered to our clients, and secondly to put our name in front of 300 prospective clients - since joining WMita in January 2003 we have strenghtened our working relationship with several WMita members and been able to work collaboratively with them to provide IT solutions for our clients and at our own offices."
- Phil Linnet of Breslins
