HistoryThe Company was founded in London in 1937 when PM Sebestyen and J H Waring identified the need for radio repair shops to quickly acquire spare parts. Operating from a London lock up garage this was the start of Radiospares who offered their customers an efficient service, with a 'replacement for every job' and 24 hours service, which was almost unheard of during this time. Throughout the Second World War, Radiospares helped to keep the nation's radios working providing spare parts where they were most needed. |
