What our clients and community have to say
“It has been a real pleasure working with VAST to produce our logo and website for the Staffordshire Coaching and Mentoring Hub – they guided us through the process, developed some designs for us to work with, and was really helpful in advising us on content and structure.
The whole experience was very professional and good value for money (which we expected) – but also quite fun (which was a pleasant surprise). We have received some very positive feedback on the website and have already recommended VAST to a couple of colleagues.
Great job – many thanks!”
"we have been very pleased with the service we have received. The set up process was straightforward and you were very quick in responding to queries and making adjustments when needed as we transitioned from the previous payroll process to VAST. Our payroll information comes through promptly and accurately. it feels like a very personal service."
“We have an office in The Hub and in the time we have been here we have been made to feel extremely welcome by everyone, it is a fabulous environment. We have found it invaluable being close to other non-profit organisations and charities, and being able to access the services and facilities that The Hub and VAST provide. We are a small charity so taking on an office was a big step but we are delighted that we have made the move and couldn’t be happier with our surroundings.”
