Granville Technology Group Ltd was a British computer retailer and manufacturer based in Simonstone, near Burnley, Lancashire, marketing its products under the brand names ''Time'', ''Tiny'', ''Colossus'', and ''MJN''. It sold mainly through mail-order, though late in its life, the firm added a chain of shops in the United Kingdom that traded as ''The Computer Shop'', and rapidly grew to over 300 stores. The main competitors were PC World, Comet, and Maplin. ==History== Formerly known as ''Time Group'', the company was formed in 1994, by Tahir Mohsan.〔 The manufacturing unit was located at Time Technology Park, in Simonstone. The company produced computers under the Tiny and Time Computers brands, although tracing the ownership of these brands later proved difficult for administrators Grant Thornton due to the group's convoluted and opaque ownership structure. In the year ending June 2003, the group made profits of £2.5m before tax with a turnover of £207m, and sold nearly 20 million personal computers. The company went into receivership on 27 July 2005, due to the fall in demand for personal computers. That month, it employed 1,600 people, and was one of the largest retailers of computers in the United Kingdom.
