Granville Technology Group
Granville Technology Group Ltd was a British computer retailer based in Simonstone, near Burnley, Lancashire.
Selling computers under several brands - Time; Tiny; Colossus; MJN - it sold mainly through mail-order, though late in its life added a chain of stores in the UK that traded as The Computer Shop, which rapidly grew to over 300 stores.
The company went into receivership at the end of July 2005, at which time it employed 1,600 people and was one of the largest retailers of computers in Britain, which were produced by the Time Factory located at the same site.

Famous quotes containing the words technology and/or group:
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
