PC builder Mesh went into administration and ceased trading on May 31st. The appointed administrator, MacIntyre Hudson, sold the name and some assets on the same day to components distributor PC Peripherals.
Formed in 1987, Mesh was the largest independent UK PC manufacturer, managing to outlive its big rival Evesham Technology, which closed its doors in 1998.
While Mesh the company might have ceased trading, the brand will still live on, as PC Peripherals intends to continue selling computers under this brand name. Reza Jafari, owner and director of PC Peripherals commented, "We are pleased to have completed this acquisition and see it as an excellent platform from which to develop our business. Mesh Computers' 25 year history of manufacturing in the UK is a solid foundation to build from and we are looking forward to investing and moving into our next phase of growth."
The big question, is what does this mean for new or existing customers of Mesh? We spoke with Jafari to get an overview of exactly what would happen now and how customers waiting for PCs should progress. He told us that existing customers that have a PC within the warranty period will have their warranties honoured by PC Peripherals.
"We will honour all warranties," said Jafari. "We will also keep the same website and telephone numbers for users to call." We've been told that most outstanding orders have been dispatched, but anyone that hasn¹t received their PC will need to get their money back either through their credit card company or by talking to the administrator.
