👋 Right, let us put this one to bed, because we have been asked it a lot today.
No, we are not closing. 💙
The building we trade from has gone up for auction, and we can see exactly why that has caused confusion. So here is the bit that matters:
🏠 The BUILDING and the BUSINESS are two completely separate things.
The building is bricks and mortar. It is owned by a landlord, and we rent our part of it from them. mendmyi is the business that works inside it, and that is owned and run by us. Two different things, owned by two different people.
What is up for auction is the building. Not mendmyi. Not our lease, not our team, not our tools, not our stock.
Think of it like a house with tenants living in it being sold. The tenants do not pack up and move out, they just have a new landlord. It is the same here. Our lease runs to 2031 and it stays with the building, so whoever buys it simply becomes our new landlord. The only thing that changes is the name on the rent.
Which means, for you, nothing changes at all. Same shop, same door, same service, same opening times. And we fully intend to be here long after 2031. We are not closing our doors and disappearing.
And while we are at it: our neighbours at Sunflower SEND Hub are going nowhere either. 🌻
Now, here is the part most people do not know about us.
Some of the country's largest insurance companies trust us with their customers' devices. Not a call centre. Not a faceless depot on an industrial estate somewhere. Us, on this bench, in Haverhill. If you have ever claimed on your phone insurance, there is a fair chance your handset came through mendmyi. Insurers do not hand their customers' phones to just anyone, and they do not stay 15 years with a shop that is on its way out.
But honestly? The insurance work is not the bit we love most. That is you lot. Cracked screens, phones full of photos that cannot be lost, school iPads by the trolley-load, and consoles that pick the worst possible week to give up. Helping local people with the things that actually matter to them is why we opened, and it is why we are still here.
So, to be completely clear:
🔧 Same team, same bench, same 12-month warranty
🕘 Same opening times, no change at all
🔍 Free diagnostics, and most repairs done the same day
💷 Still buying and selling phones, consoles and laptops
We are busier than ever, and we are here to stay.
📍 3 Queen Street, Haverhill, CB9 9DZ
