We are proud to recommerce and refurbish top brand home appliances and office technology. We believe that Tech should not cost the earth...literally. Dont buy new buy Simply. Simply Tech is a start up company and was set up after both Directors, James and I (Phil) lost our jobs in the Covid fallout. The business started in humble beginnings from a shed in Lincoln in March 2021. Since then Simply Tech has rapidly grown and sold close to 400 printers plus hundreds other stock all of which have been given a 100% satisfaction feedback on ebay. We have now outgrown the shed and now have a office and storage premises close to our homes in Lincoln. We specialise in refurbishing and selling home and office appliances and technology. James is our in house appliance technician with many years experience in this specialist field. I have a background and many years senior management experience in areas including banking, operations and leisure. We believe in sales through service so always put our customers at the heart of everything. This has allowed us to already gain a great reputation as a business and have had many many repeat customers. We aim to make everything as clear and simple as possible and offer many items for sale at great value prices often £100s below RRP. Finally I would like to mention our Green Credentials. Since we started we have never destroyed any electronics or sent it to landfill. We have either Simply refurbished it back to good as new or we have sold it for parts and repair to other specialists. We are very proud of this. Both myself and James also have a passion for collecting and selling Sporting Memorabilia and in Retro Gaming. We have over 30 years experience in both of these fields and aim to grow our stock levels in both of these markets over the coming months Dont buy new buy Simply. Phil Skayman (Director)
