POWELL'S PCS LTD

What POWELL'S PCS LTD does

Powell's PCs Ltd is a Norwich-based, privately held IT services and telecommunications provider founded in 2014 by Harry Powell, who remains the sole Director and lead engineer. The company operates as a Managed Service Provider for small and medium businesses, supplemented by a consumer-facing repair and connectivity business. Its core offerings include end-to-end IT network management, cloud services (Microsoft 365 provisioning, managed anti-virus, data migration), computer repair (laptops, desktops, peripherals), and CCTV/security installations. The company has progressively added telecommunications products — reselling mobile SIM tariffs from all four major UK networks (EE, Three UK, Vodafone, O2), broadband and fibre, VoIP phones, IoT, and vehicle tracking — making it effectively a one-stop IT and connectivity shop for the Norwich and surrounding Norfolk market. A stated base of over 100 clients is served through phone, email, in-store consultation, and an online shop, with additional monetization through paid IT training courses.

The technology foundation is a standard SMB stack: the company website and e-commerce shop run on Odoo (open source), with payment processing handled by GoCardless (direct debit for recurring mobile plans), Stripe, and SumUp. Revenue mechanics blend subscription/recurring streams (mobile SIM commissions, managed IT contracts, cloud subscriptions), one-time professional services (repairs, installations, migrations), and hardware resale. The customer base is primarily SMBs with a secondary consumer segment, and the company is bootstrapped with no external institutional funding. Geographic scope is England only, with operations concentrated around Norwich.
