We highly recommend Wireless Terminal Solutions – they have been great to deal with from start to finish. The chip and pin card reader came into its own at Crufts and didn’t let us down once – the connection was great. We are looking forward to our next event, and will certainly be using WTS again. Many thanks for everything
