These stores where elegant, stocked the very latest in computer hardware, software, accessories and offered a level of customer service and knowledge that was unknown and well before its time, they really where the hottest thing on the market.The company grew from strength to strength and by Christmas 1996 was Britain's largest computer retailer with over 61 locations including 13 superstores. The company was acquired by PC WORLD in 1998 who re-branded each store leaving the Byte name to no longer exist.After an absence of 16 years Byte is back! You can never connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.Visiting the Byte Computer Superstore in Solihull as a child left me with such a profound and lasting memory that it led to my acquisition of Byte from PC World nearly 26 years later! Having obtained an Apple MFI Developers Licence shortly after the iPhone 5 was released, Byte went onto launch a range of premium quality Apple Certified accessories for iPod, iPhone and iPad, including the world’s most powerful Apple Certified Car Charger. Having spotted a gap in the market for the consistent supply of high quality genuine and OEM repair/service parts we have established ourselves as the go to vendor for the largest repair centers in the United Kingdom and USA.We also white label mobile phone accessories and consumer electronics for the likes of Maplin, Belkin and Strax.Based in Shenzhen China, with offices in Hong Kong and Birmingham we are positioned like no other company of its kind.
