We are one of the longest established two way radio providers in the UK, having been trading since 1953. During this time, we have gone from strength to strength, specialising in pushing forwards the boundaries of technologies.
All of the products that we supply incorporate at least a degree of our in-house design and manufacturing. We do this in order to be able to consistently offer our customers better products for less.
Maxxwave was originally formed in 1953 by Tony Jones as a small Independent communications company. Upon finishing his National Service, Tony used his contacts within the MoD to acquire ex-military transmitters, which he then converted to make them suitable for the commercial user.
However by the 1980's, several new technologies started to appear on the market, which had started to make the existing hire fleet equipment dated. Marketing strategies were therefore changed, and Tony decided to focus solely on providing high quality communications solutions to a loyal core of customers. By doing this he could reduce staffing levels and thereby enter semi-retirement.
It was in 2005 that Tony elected to take full-time retirement, and so the ownership of the company handed over to Samuel Hunt, to take it into the next generation.
In 2012 Maxxwave undertook an ambitious expansion programme, creating purpose-built workshop and warehouse facilities in Markfield. Ownership was split 50:50 between Roland Ashby and Samuel Hunt. A period of rapid growth and renewal followed, playing upon the unique key strengths of design and manufacture.
Following the unexpected death of Roland in 2019, the business has again transformed, developing into a service lead business providing high quality solutions developed in house for extremely competitive pricing, sharing our unique developments and solutions with the wider industries.
