Long before we started making EV chargers, we were just like you
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.
We’ve been making EV chargers since 2016. Original founders of the firm Andersen EV, we saw the company expand to become a global supplier with clients worldwide. Success brought rewards and challenges. We learnt about running a business and the struggles of keeping faith with a vision when things scale up, and investors with different values come on board.
SIMPSON & PARTNERS
When we started Simpson & Partners in 2021, we began our journey all over again, using all the experience we have gained over the years to create something even better. Our principles are simple.
QUALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE
We make products that set industry standards for design, user experience and build quality.
FAMILY RUN
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.
COTSWOLDS PROUD
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.
MADE FOR LIFE
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.
PEOPLE FIRST
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.
