Chips Computers: Why Winning Makes You Better
Years ago Jenny Griffiths, now of Chips Computers in Brimington, Chesterfield, was once told, "You're not a geek ‘till you've built your own computer." And not being one to pass up a challenge she learned how. At age 8 her husband to be Phil had already upgraded his BBC himself and was starting to build them too. So perhaps it's no surprise the duo won ‘Best Use of PC Configurator" last year? Well, it was to them.
NATIONAL SUCCESS

Philip Chip Griffiths at Chips Computers sent us this Millennium Falcon computer and I thought it was just amazing.

Having started out as a call-out only service, Chips Computers is now an award winning store. Phil Griffiths tells PCR what it’s like to have a female employee in store and why the team makes Star Wars inspired PCs.
“For our customers with special needs, or disabilities, we work hard to provide them with essential services,” says Griffiths. “Some of our customers need specialist software for things such as dyslexia. Others may have dementia or autism, so it is very important to have their computer set up to be user friendly for them.
Did you know that for every £1 spent locally around 50p - 70p of that money circulates back into the local economy. For the same £1 spent out of town or online only 5p trickles back to the local community.
