It is with great regret, that after 2 great years providing quality experiences for our customers, the Directors of the Sim Spot LTD have had no choice but to close the business. Despite the great support of both our customers (you) and our suppliers, it became clear recently that it was not economically viable to continue.
A small number of customers may still have unexpired vouchers for experiences outstanding. For those customers, please follow the link below for the contact details of the providers to assist with the refunding of any valid outstanding vouchers.
Direct customers (purchased in the office or on-line) please e-mail [email protected] for further details.
The Directors would like to thank our customers for their support of the business and apologise for any inconvenience the closing may have caused you
