ozydave Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Very-PC https://www.very-pc.co.uk/ I fired and email to Very-PC after seeing a pic someone had posted, on edugeek, of the Broadleaf Access which had been custom branded. After the initial call form Tom Burkinshaw, within a few days had had a custom branded demo unit to have a play with. Being a school, I wanted a PC that was student (bomb) proof. The broadleaf totally fits the bill. Front facing USB are changeable, massive bonus, our lot love destroying them at the minute. Case is really solid, I have no doubt that it would take my 12Stone (All right 14Stone) standing on top of it. The branding looks really, really good as well and all part of the package. We also had a requirement for laptops. Again within a few days we had 3 different laptops to play with. I cannot recommend Very-PC highly enough, it’s not often nowadays that I find a company with such excellent customer service levels. Nothing was too much trouble. Every question we fired to Tom was responded to straight away. Tom was even badgering the various manufactures to get the answers we needed. The purchasing of equipment from Very-PC didn’t fall into place this time, other events overtook our plans. But as I say, I would have absolute no worries that these guys could and would deliver excellent products and service. If I do need kit in the upcoming month / years, Very-PC will be my first port of call. Just wanted to say, publically, thanks to Tom and Andrew Hopton for the impeccable friendly, customer service. Before anyone asks, no I do not know anyone from the company, I’m just an impressed, satisfied customer 1
ozydave Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Yep Lots of calls from various companies every week, not one of than a patch on Very-PC. Makes my life so much easier.
Mark182 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I can second that, We bought some kit from very PC at Easter, very impressed with it and customer service. We will use them again. 1
bladedanny Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I Agree, I've got a demo broadleaf one that's bright purple (the school colour). Hopefully be ordering them for the Summer. 1
X-13 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 +1 confirm. I've ordered a few bits from them and they turned up fast. I also ordered my new computer from them. 1
X-13 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) broadleaf one that's bright purple (the school colour). [CENSORED!] I forgot about that... @VeryPC_Tom_M my broadleaf better be purple or I'm releasing a horde of Zubat into VeryPC HQ. [Once I figure out how to create Zubat...] Edited June 21, 2013 by X-13 hehe... boradleaf
X-13 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 [ATTACH=CONFIG]18797[/ATTACH] Image to show it off as I really like it. Looks pink to me... Not sure if gusta.
bladedanny Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Pinky Purple. It matches the school logo really well. Every thing's branded at our school, even the lift shaft so it fits in really well. I've also seen a white one in the same style which looks very nice indeed.
X-13 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I've also seen a white one in the same style which looks very nice indeed. It may look nice new... but how long before it's a dull gray?
RTFM Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) It may look nice new... but how long before it's a dull gray? Its powder coating i believe so it shouldnt fade and would be wipeable clean anyway. Ours are all standard black with a white custom design on. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-related/100800-laser-etching-your-school-crest-logo-onto-your-pc.html - might be worth a look Edited June 21, 2013 by RTFM

zag Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Just bought 56 of the smaller broadleafs, had a few on test and they are very good so far. 1

VeryPC Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Hi folks, Pink PC resurrection! It's been a while since you mentioned it, but as you were talking about our pink Broadleaf PCs, I thought you might like to see a photo of the most recent pink PC we've built and supplied, a Broadleaf Access in "All-in-One" configuration using the Flex monitor mounting bracket: Enjoy ye the glory of its pinkness (this one has a pink powder coated body and a pink anodised aluminium front plate which has been laser etched with our customer's school branding). Cheers, Al
VeryPC_Tom_B Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Just wanted to thank you all for the positive feedback. This has been a fantastic year for us & its all down to you
andyfield Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I cannot praise VeryPc enough. Ordered 90ish machines in the summer and they are great. Free imaging! Tom is a great account manger. Spoke to him yesterday about a laptop which I wanted by the end of the week. He personally stayed late to help the production team build it so I would get it in time! Customer service is the best I have ever had. No hassling on the phone just there when I need them. Even free sweets and socks this year! Have a great Xmas VeryPc.

I had a similar experience the other day, needed a laptop fast even though our order was due in about 2 weeks. They sent one laptop the next day without any hassle. Also love the fact they are not annoying direct marketing wise and always very quick to quote back when needed. Makes me want to order more with them in the future.
Lmsgpm2012 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 We've always had great customer service from everyone I've had contact with at Very but particularly Colin. We have several Broadleaf ones in school now and, like others have said, they bent over backwards to get everything the way we wanted, the machines look brilliant and perform with out any problems what so ever.
