was established in Wellington Parade Gloucester in June 1986 as a sole trader run by Andy Luckman, G6FGO himself. 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..
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 sell subscriptions and specify the equipment that we would install on behalf of customers, rather than be forced to use the standard issue Amstrad equipment. 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. The business was incorporated in 2003 but still remains under the control of Andy Luckman. Having more space means that we can now carry LCD TV sets and other home cinema equipment. We normally have a good range of Humax LCD sets and Freeview receivers in stock. As of June 2007, AJL have a fleet of service vehicles, fully equipped with all that an engineer requires to install aerials and satellite TV systems.
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.
