was established in Wellington Parade Gloucester in June 1986 as a sole trader run by Andy Luckman, aka G6FGO. The business specialised in the Acorn Computer market selling and supporting such machines as the BBC Micro and later, the Archimedes and RISC OS technology. Then came pictures from space......
At the beginning of Sky TV, there was just one channel, broadcast on Intelsat at 27.5W. This required large dishes and a deep pocket. With the launch of the 16 channel service for the UK public, we became involved in the installation of Sky analogue and other equipment for European services.
In 1990, the business was moved to Calton Road in Gloucester and continued to expand both computer and satellite business. We also became more active in the TV aerial business. Soon afterwards, Sky TV granted us Approved Sky Dealer status which meant that we were able to pass customer's contract details to Sky and specify the equipment that we would install for our customers, rather than be forced to use the standard issue equipment that would be installed by Sky Direct. We were also granted CAI membership after careful scrutiny of the business. Our registration number is C366, one of the earliest!
The next expansion was in 1998 when we moved into the current premises in Bristol Road, making room for more stock and to have more engineers to cater for the demand. When Telmec Services closed down, we were proud to continue the service they provided to their customers and still offer the same telephone number of 01452 423839. The whole business was incorporated in 2004 as Electrical Avenue Ltd but still remains under the direct control of Andy Luckman with the same trading names. Having more space means that we can now carry LCD TV sets and other home cinema equipment. We normally have a good range of LCD TV sets and Freeview receivers in stock. AJL have a fleet of service vehicles, fully equipped with all that an engineer requires to install aerials and satellite TV systems.
* 24th October 2010 we have expanded into Tewkesbury. Find us at 48 High Street Tewkesbury GL20 5BH or ring on 01684 293888*
The philosophy of the business is to offer customers the best quality advice, reliable and user friendly equipment and installations all in one package. All our staff are able to offer technical advice and support before or after sales. Television equipment is delivered by our own engineers to your home where they will set it up and demonstrate its use. We can also setup your own TV or related equipment for a fixed fee of £69 inc VAT which gives you up to 1.5 hours with our engineer.
