—For those that won’t read the post- our Beauchamp store will remain OPEN —
An update from the owner of Prism Technology
This is an unusual post for me to share, but I want to be completely transparent with you all.
Since we opened our second store in Western Road nearly three years ago, we’ve loved being able to serve both ends of town. However, we haven’t yet found a "smooth flow" for that location. With recent staff leave and sickness, we’ve often found ourselves running at a limited capacity that doesn't meet the standards I want for you.
I currently have a job opening, but to be honest, I don't have the spare time right now to run a meaningful interview and training process while keeping the wheels turning. I need to take a step back and look at the business as a whole to ensure you get the service you deserve.
Because of this, I’ve made some immediate decisions:
• Temporary Store Closure: Our Western Road store will remain closed for the foreseeable future. This is not a permanent closure—we will reopen once we have the right staffing levels and skills in place to serve you properly.
• Device Collections: All customer devices are being moved to our main site so they are available for collection. We are contacting affected customers now and offering free delivery if you can't make it to the other shop.
• Refining Our Services: To keep our turnaround times fast, we will no longer be taking on unfamiliar repairs or complex "investigation" jobs where the time spent outweighs the cost of the item. This allows us to focus on what we do best.
On a personal note, I’ve been working 100-hour weeks for over a year now, and 80-hour weeks for two years before that. To be honest, I’m tired. I’m not afraid of hard work, but I need to fix the internal flow of the business so we can be better.
I will be going on annual leave in 10 days' time. The shop will remain open, but I ask that you please give my colleagues a little extra time with your orders while I’m away. Prism is still here and still thriving—we are just taking a small step back to move two steps forward.
Thank you for all your recommendations and your continued support.
