What our customers say about us
Don't just take our word for it, our customer feedback speaks for itself. With Pear Space you can be assured that you are going to get nothing short of an website with exceptional service and support.
The parish council is a longstanding Pear Space user for its website service. Recently, it switched to a gov.uk domain name and email service which was carried out by Pear Space too. The work was completed quickly and efficiently, and helpful support is always available to me as clerk from a local team to resolve queries and problems.
Cody Fisher
Clerk - Easton Parish Council
The parish council recently changed its website provider to Pear Space. They built the website and copied pages over from the old website. The task was completed efficiently, with good communications throughout the process. Helpful support is always readily available to me from a locally based team, and the occasional problems encountered have been solved rapidly.
Kristin Watson
Clerk - Pettistree Parish Council
Excellent customer service from Suffolk Cloud. The team is quick to respond, always helpful, and consistently willing to assist. A pleasure to work with and highly recommended.
