After opting for an electric car, we started exploring the available home charger options, but what we found didn’t excite us much. We realised that if we wanted to find a charging option with great build quality and aesthetic appeal, we would have to build one ourselves, and so, our journey began.
Since 2016, we’ve been making EV chargers. As founders of Andersen EV, we grew into a global supplier. Success brought both rewards and challenges, teaching us about business and scaling up. We re-started again in 2021 with S&P, and now, under new ownership and investment in September 2024, we are ready to excel in the market.
Why settle for ordinary when you can have exceptional build quality, performance and design appeal in your EV charger? Starting from £649, our chargers are refreshingly affordable. Using our know how, we do exactly this. We make high-quality chargers at an affordable price.
We founded Simpson & Partners in 2021, leveraging our experience to improve. Now in 2024, under new ownership and an even stronger management team, we’re poised to excel in the market.
Our principles are simple. We make products that set industry standards for design, user experience and build quality.
We started as a family run firm business and a family run business we will remain. Our decisions are influenced only by considering what is best for our products and for our customers. We are personally involved in every part of the business, from design, manufacturing, delivery and admin to cleaning the floors.
The heritage and natural beauty of our home Cotswolds has a huge influence on the products we make. When it comes to design, we are classic, we are British, and we are proud.
We don’t cut corners with our materials. We work with UK suppliers to reduce Co2 and shipping costs. We create products made to perform throughout the seasons for year after year.
Good customer service and making a good product go hand in hand. We want to delight our customers. We personally care about how people are treated. Our suppliers feel like an extension of our own family. We are a small business, and we want every customer to know that they count.
