JPS in Liquidation

I won't mention the "B" word.

But I'm sure it will work out. When Pentax moved out of Harrow quite some years ago, there was a lot of talk of it being the end of Pentax. In a way that's how and why Robin started Harrow Technical. He bought up the remaining spares and rented the same are in the building while the rest was rented out to others. Then for a while the "Pentax Service Agents" were still Pentax but in their HQ in Europe. Any warranties etc are with Ricoh rather than JPS. If JPS stop operating, I'm sure Ricoh will just use one of the European centres again at least until they can find another alternative in the UK. Even if they bother.

An update as promised....

A new company has taken over JPSS.

Contact details:

Tim Kessel - [email protected]
Tel: 01782 753 342

I am under the impression that work will be undertaken in the current buildings for the short-term.

The new company name will be announced in due course, but for continuity they are using the JPSS email and website, which will change.

When I've got any more info. I'll share straight away.
