What VeryPC does

VeryPC Ltd is a UK-based PC manufacturer and managed IT services provider headquartered at Parkwood Business Park in Sheffield, founded on 16 February 2004 as a family-run business and privately held throughout its 20-plus-year history. The company designs, manufactures, and customises computing hardware from its 20,000 sq ft Sheffield facility, with a product portfolio spanning small-form-factor desktops (Nano, Micro, Mini, Slim lines), all-in-one PCs, Thinbook laptops, Forge ProArt workstations and Forge ARENA gaming systems, Windows and Android digital signage players, OPS systems for interactive displays, peripherals (Flow monitors and docking stands), and a BSI Kitemark-certified refurbished range under the VeryPC Revive brand. Technology is built on Intel NUC reference platforms, Intel Core Ultra processors with integrated NPUs, AMD Ryzen processors, and ASUS ProArt/TUF Gaming motherboards for higher-end systems, with proprietary small-form-factor chassis designs featuring integrated cable management, VESA mounting, lockable covers, and tamper-resistant security screws.

The company primarily serves the UK education sector — schools, colleges, academies, and multi-academy trusts — with UK businesses as a secondary segment, and operates an exclusive UK distribution partnership with JWIPC to extend OPS and signage product reach into European markets. Its go-to-market combines direct quote-driven sales via the website, an account-management-led field motion, reseller partnerships, and event presence (notably Bett UK). Revenue is generated across four streams: hardware sales (one-time configured device purchases), refurbished hardware (BSI Kitemark remanufactured devices from Dell, HP, Lenovo), professional services (installations, IT migrations, Microsoft 365 setup, cybersecurity implementation), and managed services (Microsoft Intune device management, backup and disaster recovery, Storage Spaces Direct, 3CX cloud phone systems). Pricing is opaque and quote-based, with warranty options up to seven years on desktops and a Deliver to Desk white-glove installation service for UK Mainland customers using DBS-checked staff. Key certifications and partner statuses include Microsoft Gold OEM Partner, Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work, Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, BSI Kitemark (refurbishment workflow), Made in Britain, Made in Sheffield, and Cyber Essentials. Leadership comprises Andrew as Managing Director, Ed Egan as Technology Director (joined 2008), and Lee Watts as Production Manager.
