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)
“Laughing at someone else is an excellent way of learning how to laugh at oneself; and questioning what seem to be the absurd beliefs of another group is a good way of recognizing the potential absurdity of many of one’s own cherished beliefs.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
