Rory Heslin and Julie Roberts 5*

Two members of staff at Access have been nothing short of phenomenal - Rory Heslin and Julie Roberts.

From the very start of our Access Journey, they’ve been supportive, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping—no matter how small or complex the issue. What really stands out is how they explain things clearly and patiently, never once making you feel like you’re asking a silly question. That level of professionalism, patience, and empathy is rare—and it makes a huge difference.

To be completely honest, the product itself can be quite average at times, and my experience with the wider support hasn’t always been great—responses can be slow, and it can feel like queries aren’t always fully understood. However, these two individuals are the complete opposite. They consistently go above and beyond, taking ownership and making sure things are resolved properly.

They’ve turned what could have been frustrating experiences into positive ones purely through their dedication and attitude.

This 5-star review is entirely because of them. They are a real credit to Access, and they truly deserve recognition for the exceptional service they provide.

Excellent 1st year working with us

It is the first year that Paul has worked with us and he has responded quickly to all requests.
The 26/27 budget build upload that he did for our schools was excellent. In previous years there have always been some errors when we checked but this time there were none. Really happy with the service this year

Lovely system and the support team are really helpful

The system looks great and the team supporting try their very best to support you. If there was any feedback to give I would say that onboarding would be a little better with a bit more time to "try updating the system with support" rather than by presentation for the practical learners out there.
