As the more eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed, some of our SEP logos have subtly changed, and this will be feeding throughout our branding over the coming months. After some consideration, we have decided that the time has come to ‘streamline’ our name – which doesn’t actually say anything about what we do, and just causes confusion about where we are. The ‘Sale Engineering …

Reluctant Price Increases

NewsdeskLatest News Leave a Comment

Despite three years’ ongoing and in some cases very high prices increases from component suppliers, we have managed to keep most of our own prices flat and have not imposed a cross-board price change since 2017.
