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:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
