Academia (formally PC Supplies) are a young Company, formed in July 2003. We were born out of Excitech Ltd, www.excitech.co.uk , who remain the leading supplier of CAD software and solutions in the country. As such, we have full access to technical resources; including installation, training or technical support. We also have the financial backing of a large Parent Company with over 60 staff and an annual turnover in excess of £9 million.

We are very confident of an inherent value for money in our goods and services and would always expect to be as competitive as any other supplier in this market. Indeed, in many instances we have offered an additional discount to help secure orders.

We are based in Enfield, London, and we can discuss your requirements in person, should it be appropriate.
You may have a current preferred supplier but we feel that there is usually an opportunity to show where we can definitely add value over and above any current arrangements.

In Summary, we think we can help and would welcome the opportunity to persuade you, based on the 3 cornerstones of our philosophy.
