Symantec Registered Partner These days, we fix fewer IT problems than ever before... because now we prevent most from ever occurring Introducing Priority ProActive Assistant If you run a busy company, keeping your servers and workstations performing at their best – and minimising any downtime – is a must. Therefore, at Priority IT, when considering the best way to deal with IT problems, we believe that prevention is better than cure. Priority ProActive Assistant is a virtual system that monitors more than 400 different aspects of your IT set up. It will spot everything from a slowrunning server or a failed backup, to a disk that is running low on space or in need of replacement. It knows if unfamiliar computers are added to your network, and even knows when your printers are going to need new toner. The system fixes issues long before they have a chance to interrupt your workflow – and if human help is required, it alerts a member of our dedicated team. Priority ProActive Assistant is just one more reason that people call us the superheroes of small business IT support, and is available now as part of our Priority Premium package.

why we do it Thank you for helping baby George When new-born baby George Ward stopped breathing, he was rushed to hospital in the air ambulance. His mum, Tory, shares their story n December 2011, my son George decided that I he didn’t want to hang around in my tummy and that he wanted his first Christmas early. Although he was born eight weeks prematurely, we had a relatively easy time in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and he was released just after Christmas. On 30 December, while my husband Richard was feeding him, George stopped breathing. Then started the scariest time that both of us have ever experienced. Richard called 999 while I started performing CPR. It wasn’t long at all before a paramedic from Frome called Alan turned up. He came into the lounge and took over giving CPR as George was still not breathing. He asked me to go and look for his red book; I now realise that this was to get me out of the room given the circumstances. The next thing I knew was that the air ambulance was outside. George was flown to the Royal United Hospital, Bath. Alan drove me to the hospital and the first thing I remember was one of your crew standing at the entrance. He looked at me and put his thumb up in the air; I hoped that this meant everything was ok or that George had at least survived the journey to hospital. Richard, Tory, George and baby brother Harry I was taken straight into the A&E department. George was lying on a little bed and had a bright light shining on him; he was stripped to his nappy and looked tiny. Rich was making his way over in his car and hadn’t yet arrived. I was then told that consultants were going to perform a lumbar puncture on George and I was taken to a side room where Rich joined me after a stressful journey to the hospital. It wasn’t long before we were taken back into A&E and George was whisked to the Children’s Ward where he was going to be looked after. He spent three days in hospital and thankfully he made a full recovery. We never knew what caused him to stop breathing that day but the consultants believe he may have choked on his feed. I always support your wonderful charity whenever I can and just wanted to pass on my thanks to the air ambulance crew who worked that day. I’ve sent you a recent photograph of our family. As you can see, we have a new addition called Harry, who I am pleased to say arrived on his due date and hasn’t required your services – and I plan on keeping it that way!
