Company History

Founded in 2003 and quickly turned into a Limited company in 2005, Prodigy PC Ltd provide a professional service along with top quality hardware that has been tested first hand for performance and reliability.

Prodigy PC Ltd specialise in working with Small to Medium businesses, however we also cover the residential and larger corporate sectors.

As a Microsoft partner we aim to provide a high level of support & customer service with reliable hardware giving our customers confidence and peace of mind that their I.T. system is in safe hands.

Support- Installations, technical support, consultancy & repairs provided via telephone, email, remote access, online tickets & workshop/onsite engineers.

Sales- Business & domestic Windows based computers, servers, network/broadband solutions, various other peripherals and software.

The Team - Prodigy PC Ltd is a small, but rapidly expanding business. As a result we have a small team that are successful by working together and having the same passion for computers that keeps us focused and motivated.

The average age of our team is below 26, in many industries this may be seen as a lack of experience. However, in I.T. we feel that this is an advantage as our staff use technology as if it was second nature; we can adapt to the rapidly changing technology.
