From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 31 July 1998 primarily to take over the business of an existing sole tradership owned by Kern Judge styled West One Technology.
The original business was established in 1986 and had grown considerably since that time. By 1998 it was providing direct support and technical services on transportable phones for the likes of Vodaphone, Sony Nokia and Panasonic. Due to the level of trading and customer base it was decided to incorporate.
Kern Judge then devised a complex operating system for refurbishing mobile phones to a ‘new condition. The company originally traded from leasehold premises on an industrial estate at 153 Brooker Road Waltham Abbey, Essex EN9 1JH. However the demand was such that the Company soon expanded and over the course of a few years obtained additional leasehold premises at 152, 155 and 180 Brooker Road as and when they became available.
