Q & A
Your favourite movie to watch of all time and why?
Gladiator with Russell Crow - Great storyline mixed with all kinds of emotions with a great ending
What’s your favourite food to eat and why?
Indian or Thia - So much variety to choose from and its mixed between mild korma to spicy. I like both so it's a win win for me. Choose the right place and you can't go wrong.
Your favourite phone of all time that you’ve owned:
Google Pixel 8 Pro. Amazing Camera and a great phone to use.
The worst phone you have ever owned:
Samsung Galaxy S5 - I took out a 2 year contract and within 2 months I had traded it in. I got the LG G3 which was brilliant and served me well. The iPhone was pretty bad so I hear. Take your pick.
Favourite music genre and your favourite artist:
Rock/Metal - Hard to choose a favourite but I would say Electric Callboy, Enter Shikari and Hollywood Undead, but again it's hard to choose as I love music of all genres.
Your favourite quote of all time:
"Everything is okay in the end, if it's not ok, then it's not the end"
The Best thing about working at PC Revamp:
Every day is a new day and every day it's always something different. Working with technology, you learn new things all the time.
The Worst thing about working at PC Revamp:
Always a touchy subject, but if I had to be very honest it would be customers who think we're a "Google Search Engine" shop. This would be the tip of the iceberg.
Name: Sue Metcalfe
Position: Phone & Gadget Technician
Q & A
Your favourite movie to watch of all time and why?
The Lion king - Because it's the best movie ever!
What’s your favourite food to eat and why?
Can't just choose one food because I'm a big foodie but it's between pizza, hot dogs, mash potato, and cheese.
Your favourite phone of all time that you’ve owned:
Nokia 3210 - Snake and long battery life and you can create your own ringtone. What more do you need?
The worst phone you have ever owned:
I've never had a bad phone because I'm always a little bit behind on times so any phone I do have it's amazing.
Favourite music genre and your favourite artist:
Rock/Metal - Hard to choose a favourite artist but if I had to choose just one, it would be Killswitch Engage
Your favourite quote of all time:
"Hakunamatata - sometimes bad things happen and there is nothing you can do about it so why worry"
The Best thing about working at PC Revamp:
The team and the ongoing learning about phones and devices.
The Worst thing about working at PC Revamp:
When it's cold outside and customers don't close the door behind them. You wouldn't do this in your own home when the heating is on, not sure why this is ok in a shop.
Name: Sam Browne
Position: Computer Technician
Q & A
Your favourite movie to watch of all time and why?
Saw - Love the gore and I love the storylines and sequels
What’s your favourite food to eat and why?
Pasta - It's easy to cook and tastes good.
Your favourite phone of all time that you’ve owned:
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - I love the camera. It picks up everything crystal clear. The AI even tells you what you're taking a picture of, very clever.
The worst phone you have ever owned:
Iphone 4s - It was my first ever Iphone and it was the biggest crave at the time for smartphones. I couldn't see what all the hype was about. Went back to Android after 6 months.
Favourite music genre and your favourite artist:
Pop Music - Pink
Your favourite quote of all time:
"Is it by mistake or design"
The Best thing about working at PC Revamp:
Working with family and learning about technology.
The Worst thing about working at PC Revamp:
When customers don't attend pre-booked appointments and don't let us know they're not attending. I'd never do this to another business as I know how much this can financially impact a small family-run business.
Name: John Ashleigh
Position: Board Technician
Q & A
Your favourite movie to watch of all time and why?
The Equaliser films. Because of the moral compass. The quietly confident, silent and strong vigilantism that we all wish would present itself in all of us.
What’s your favourite food to eat and why?
Japanese. Because I'm pretentious and want to live forever. And bacon. Because it is the perfect seasoning to all cuisines.
Your favourite phone of all time that you’ve owned:
The ones without an apple logo on the back
The worst phone you have ever owned:
None. They are all android
Favourite music genre and your favourite artist:
It's an impossible question. The me of today would answer differently to the me of tomorrow. I have a wide taste, to blues, folk, punk, new wave, heavy metal and drum and bass. But because I love Paul I will answer as the John of today. Genre: Psychedelic Rock. Artist: The Doors.
Your favourite quote of all time:
"If you can't do great things, then do small things in a great way".
The Best thing about working at PC Revamp:
The team I'm working with. I feel like I'm making a home from home, and a new path in life. Their acceptance is my salvation. I love them all.
The Worst thing about working at PC Revamp:
Getting stuck behind a tractor on my 35 mile journey to and from work.
Name: Larry
Position: Head of HR
Q & A
Your favourite movie to watch of all time and why?
Lady and the Tramp. It's a personal favourite. The main characters are kinda cute.
What’s your favourite food to eat and why?
Literally anything... dry dog food can get a bit boring so I do like to mix it up, however human food is good.
Your favourite phone of all time that you’ve owned:
I'm a dog, so I don't really have a phone, nor do I know what it is. Is this some kind of treat?
The worst phone you have ever owned:
If you mean treat, I would say Tesco Value puppy treats
Favourite music genre and your favourite artist:
I would say 'Who let the dogs out' by Baha Men. However I do think some of the woofs were out of tune. My favourite artist has to be Snoop Dog.
Your favourite quote of all time:
"You must be barking mad", or "You're barking up the wrong tree"
The Best thing about working at PC Revamp:
Keeping the staff in order. The love from the staff and the customers is overwhelming to say the least. But most of all, It has to be the walks I go on when Michelle picks me up.
The Worst thing about working at PC Revamp:
What's to hate? I love every aspect of being at the shop. I do however dislike the loud air compressor. When this gets turned on, it sends me barking mad.
