We have been applying our backgrounds of Hardware experience at SME Supplies for the past 15 years. We constantly attend seminars and training to keep us up to date with the latest technology.
Being independent has helped us make unbiased recommendations, and we are flexible in helping customers procure what they want, and the solution that works best for them. We offer a range of advice, especially for the investment of long term equipment and compatibility – each customer has a dedicated account manager that can answer most questions (and in the rare cases that they cannot – we have firm relationships and partnerships with our suppliers who can).
We have worked with IT staff and managers in both the Education and Corporate sector for many years, and the dedicated account managers are well versed in handling budgets and long term planning. We offer free support via phone, email, on-site visits, Skype – we are structured for long term partnerships.

Each year we sell more and more laptops – with higher specs and more memory than ever before.

Our prices are extremely competitive and devices can be supplied as stand-alone devices or as part of a mobile network with charging trolleys.

We offer a range of server solutions depending on the needs of the user. These range from small single back up stand alone servers, right through to a complete package enabling your school to integrate all the computers on a single network ad manage the back up requirements of each classroom and department.

We offer free advice and training, and ongoing support for all our customers
When choosing one for your school you are subjected to so much choice, and more questions than answers; should you go for a lamp free one, a special warranty one, what resolution, which inputs to use, can I place it in the same place as the old one, is it now time to move to short throw.
