BOURNEMOUTH, UK – 20 November, 2012 – 20 years is a long time in any industry, but when operating in technology – an industry that develops at twice the speed of any other – is quite remarkable. We at Clove Technology (http://www.clove.co.uk) are pleased to announce the celebration of our 20th birthday.
In November 1992 when Chris & Jill Love founded Clove Technology and sold their first Psion product (which Chris even hand delivered), who would have thought 20 years later, the mobile device in our hands would be almost as powerful and even replace the desktop computer we have at home.
Wireless and the cloud appear to be the way forward but who knows what we will have in our hands (if in our hands at all) in another 20 years.
Clove remains a small, niche but powerful and respected company within the mobile communications community, selling the latest smartphones, tablets and accessories, often before they are available on the high street. We always aim to publicise the latest information on products and forthcoming smartphones etc. on our blog sites as well as offering our impartial advice and opinion. This is probably our strongest asset as we have a regular worldwide following.
Beginning as a mail order company, stocking the big brand names of the 1990’s, Clove is now online and continues to stock the big names of today, including ASUS, Huawei, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, Sony and ZTE.
Chris Love, Managing Director and founder of Clove commented “Whilst devices, brands and the business model have changed dramatically, the basic principle of the mobile device and our business remains. Clove continues to deliver a personal service and knowledge that few others deliver. Mobile products continue to develop to make daily life simpler as the world around us revolves. It has been a challenging but enjoyable 20 years, here’s to many more!”
Staying true to its roots, 20 years on Clove remains based in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK but continues to serve the wider international community. From USA to Mongolia, it is fair to say there are few countries that have not received a package from Clove, though Chris no longer hand delivers!
Roy Taylor, Managing Director of Data Select, comments “Data Select has been a proud supplier to Clove Technology for over 10 years. A recognised innovator in online technology retailing, Clove is a true business partner. Instrumental in the support and growth of the JCB Toughphone range, Data Select are appreciative of the support of Clove Technology.”
To celebrate the occasion Clove Technology is running a number of special promotions and have a whole series of competition prizes to give away, just head to the Clove website, http://www.clove.co.uk/20 for more information.

Happy Birthday Clove.
I remember that first year so very well and the many conversations I had with an excited and tech passionate Chris.
I was sold on Clove back then and am happy to continue today.
All the best guys.
Mike
