About Prodigy PC | About Us
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. Based on a small business park
in the Blackmore Vale (Dorset) our technicians mainly operate in Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire, although we
have customers as far a field as London and Peterborough.
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 and customer service with reliable hardware giving our customers confidence and peace of mind that their I.T. system is in safe hands.
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 and 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 them. We can therefore adapt to rapidly changing technology.
