The Death of Joan Allen Electronics,

It with great sadness that the amazing institution that was joan allen has died, this was not down to mismanagement or any fault internally, but from an insidious external hacker that was either hired to or acted on their own to hack into the site and cause a spiral of events that was too much even for joan allen to bear. (Please note no customer data was compromised during this time)

From the sadness we can take joy in the fact that we made some truly incredible friends and met some of the most interesting people on gods Green earth.

From events to finding hoards, joan allen carried itself with pride.

A fundamental principle of joan allen was always its service, we were the best in the Uk in my personal opinion and possible further afield as well.

We outshine with our advertising and marketing having some of the best influencers making some of the best media, so many could enjoy the hobby and feel safe in the knowledge that should they want to make a purchase then we could point them towards the right media and then talk them through their purchase.

A massive thank you to every single one of our amazing customers must be said, for without our customers, nothing would ever have existed , this is at the heart of my sadness, we have looked after our customers for many years,many of whom I know by name, we have shared many experiences with you and listened to stories good and bad.

I wish we could be there for many more years to come but this simple cannot be, we fought as hard as we could for as long as we could at great personal cost to both myself and my family but enough as they say is enough.

Now the final curtain is falling.

Before that happens however, we are going to have one last roll of the dice.

Going forward all products will be available at 20% off while stocks last (Use Code JOANALLEN at checkout)

I say all this without prejudice and mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you everyone.

Happy hunting.

Luke Mahoney

Former director of Joan Allen Electronics

We all know everyone loves a rumour…

To set the record straight a few of you may have seen a post floating about that Joan Allen has shut its doors. This is not true.
We are still very much open and trading, still honouring warranty issues and providing the high level of customer service we pride ourselves with.
Recently Joan Allen suffered a hit online which resulted in our online payment system being down for quite a long period of time. To prevent our customers from being vulnerable we had to shut down all online payments until the threat was neutralised. This has unfortunately had a knock on effect within our company and we’ve made the decision to make some temporary changes while we re-group.
Joan Allen has been a leader in the field since 1968 and we are not planning to step back any time soon.
Business will continue as usual, all orders are being shipped and we thank you all for your continued support. If you have any questions please message us or drop us an email on [email protected]
