Spotlight – Silicon Bullet – Alison Mead (The Sage Lady)

The Last Hurdle spotlights are here to highlight local businesses that are closely connected with or are clients of ours.

This month we are proud to highlight Silicon Bullet and in particular Alison Mead, otherwise known as the sage lady.

Alison says:  ’Sage software, training and consultancy has always been a focus area. Whilst starting out as a Sage “Standard Reseller”, Silicon Bullet was quickly accepted as a Sage “Authorised Dealer”. The benefits of this enhanced relationship are many and provide a key part of our growth plans. Networking leads and marketing the use of Silicon Bullet by Accounting companies to provide valued-add IT Services to their clients is driving the growth of the Sage product sales and training.
More recently Silicon Bullet has become an ACT! Accredited dealer through Sage, in order to enhance our service offering and to ensure we give our customers the best range of services possible.

We maintain our Sage 50 Accounts, Payroll and ACT! accreditation as each new version is released by sitting courses and exams set by Sage.’

Having hosted a very popular guest blog on our website, we can see just how popular our local Sage lady is and specifically  how valued and desirable the Sage training is.
