Our Journey
2004 - When it all began
In 2004 our MD, Dave Bell, found interest in purchasing used IT Hardware and began to single-handedly sell hardware out of his garage, where LA Micro was formed.
2009 - 5 Years Later...
Over the course of five years, LA Micro was selling a substantial amount of hardware, which led to the company expanding from a one-man band to four members.
2001 - Office & Warehouse Launch
In 2011, LA Micro had six employees and took a significant step forward by acquiring an office in Windsor along with a warehouse facility for inventory – providing a solid foundation for future growth.
2014 - Continuous Growth
In 2014, eight more people were hired, bringing staff to 14 in total. Additionally, as orders rapidly came in, more warehouse space was acquired in Windsor and LA Micro was listed as one of the fastest-growing independent companies in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100.
2017 - $30M Turnover!
By 2017, five warehouses had been acquired, allowing a streamlined shipping process for shipment across the world – this expansion led to a remarkable turnover of $30M.
2019 – Maximising Market Potential
As the company continued to grow, Bytestock and LA Direct Solutions were launched to cater separately to end-user customers and reseller customers. This strategic differentiation enabled the company to effectively target diverse customer segments and maximise its market potential.
2021 – We Moved!
2021 was a big year as the company acquired a 20,000 sq. ft office/warehouse facility in Bracknell with 65 employees. In addition, LA Micro achieved 4 ISO accreditations: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 27001
2023 – LA Micro Receives Two Awards
In 2023, we proudly received the 'Best IT Hardware Supplier 2023 – Berkshire Award' and the 'SME Employer Choice Award 2023' from SME News, highlighting our commitment to exceptional service and employee satisfaction.
2024 – 20 Years in Business
LA Micro celebrates two decades of dedication! In this ever-evolving industry celebrating 20 years is a milestone that our company takes pride in with gratitude to our committed team and loyal customers.
