Our story
BitBox began in 1995 when our founder, Quentin Lister, graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in Electronics Design. A move to Basingstoke led to a key contracting job, laying the foundation for what was to come.
With determination and a drive to learn, Quentin advertised in the Yellow Pages as an Electronics Design Freelancer, gaining invaluable experience and building a strong reputation.
By the early 2000s, we took the leap into manufacturing—learning from challenges, refining our approach, and growing our expertise.
Since 2008, we have been based in our current Basingstoke facility, fully equipped with high- spec in-house design and manufacturing capabilities—but most importantly, a talented team dedicated to powering possibilities for our customers.
