Here’s to a wonderful, well-deserved break for you over Christmas and New Year!

Where did 2014 go? Another busy year has flown by! Our hope for you is that as your year draws to a close, you will find time to spend with the people that mean the most to you. Doing the things that you enjoy the most. You deserve it!

All of the team at Spectronics send their sincere thanks for your support this year. The world of inclusive technologies supporting literacy and communication continues to change rapidly affording many wonderful new opportunities for students and people with disabilities or learning difficulties. While at the same time presenting challenges for companies like ours. So your ongoing support is doubly appreciated as we continue to try to anticipate and nimbly adapt to those changes! Thank you again.

Whether you have purchased technologies from us, supplied them to us, become a Spectronics Online subscriber, attended our workshops or our mega Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2014 this year, you are a part of the Spectronics family! As you are if you have participated "virtually" in our events or joined our active Facebook and Twitter communities.

Please keep in touch! We look forward to hearing from you again in 2015.

If you need to contact us over the Christmas/New Year break, we will have answering machines on to take phone messages and emails will go through as usual too. Our office will be closed for two weeks from end of business on Friday 19th December 2014, re-opening on Monday 5th January 2015. Our online ordering and quoting will continue to be available on our website over the break – although orders and tech support requests will not be processed until we return.

 

Happy Holidays from all of us @Spectronics!
