Former Director of Apple UK
”Miguel embraced the Macintosh early on so has lived and worked through problem solving of every iteration. We trusted him with setting up and sorting out our business on Macs.

”Thank You Miguel! Couldn’t recommend this Apple Mafia Boss higher. My computer had literally packed up yesterday, drowned in virus, locking everything and within the blink of an eye Miguel sorted everything this morning, calmly, efficiently and with a sense of humour at a time that could easily have been very stressful. Hat off and massive thanks, look no further, deep bow and thanks for saving the day and more Miguel” — Jenny Zarins, MD

”When I set up my business and bought my first desktop Mac Miggi was there to install and set up. And he’s been there every step of the way for 20 years. Taking care of safety and security, diagnosing and fixing problems quickly. Time is money in my business – if the edit suite not working it’s off the bottom line so speedy solutions are crucial to me and with his extensive experience this is what you get. And then there is his calm manner and sense of humour that always serve to dispel any stress in the moment of a mac problem – I cannot recommend him highly enough.” — Christian Banfield, MD

”Half Swede, half Portugoose, six foot four, an Apple expert with a wacky sense of humour and ability to solve every problem you throw at him – more or less immediately, often over the phone. A real friend indeed. I have recommended Miguel to several friends. We all enjoy him and appreciate his always-willing to help.” — Clive Wilson, Esq.

”I had no idea what happens within my computer behind the screen, and honestly, I didn’t care. Until I met Miguel who explained to me all the safety risks in a way that was easy to understand – and even entertaining. I’m so thankful to him who is so patient, and I don’t feel intimidated being a complete dummy at computers. Being aware of the safety risks and how the computer works is so important as my whole business is on it. I also appreciate Miguel’s good humour, and warm personality.” — Timea Kadar, MD

I got that checked and boom problem solved. I would 100% recommend Miguel, you can expect the best customer service no matter the time of the day.” — Shamsa Lakhani, MD

The Academic Powerhouse
”Monday mornings used to be a nightmare. My 8-year-old desktop Mac normally took half an hour to power up. It got to a point I almost decided to ditch the old and go for a brand new one. But a Mac wizard he is, Miguel de Sousa Pires arrived to save the day. By clearing up clogged applications and updated the internal hard drive to SSD, in less than a day, Miguel took away a tortoise speed computer and returned with one working at lightning speed. All this for somewhat £300, a fraction of the £1,800 budget I was going to spend on a brand new computer! Thank you Miguel. You truly are a wizard in the world of Apple Macs.” — Susan Fang, MD
