About us

Maxbe, formerly retractacable, was set up by a father and son team specialising in selling retractable cables to individuals and companies. As our product range has grown and developed, we started selling a wider range of products and we felt the name retractacable was no longer suitable for the business, so maxbe was born. In addition to supplying to a growing list of individual customers this has been especially successful in providing customised business gifts to small and medium companies throughout the UK – spreading into the rest of Europe during the last couple of months.

Flackwell Systems, the parent company, was formed in June 1996 by a father and son team, with an initial aim to promote their hobby web sites. Following interest in the design of the initial web sites the first commercial web site design was completed within 3 months. Mainly through word of mouth and local contacts in the Flackwell Heath, Marlow and surrounding areas in Buckinghamshire, the business rapidly grew to become a thriving Web hosting and design business.

Unlike many design houses Flackwell Systems runs its own servers – ensuring complete flexibility and personal guarantees of site availability / uptimes etc.
