Our Story
Dead or Alive Technology was incorporated in August 2023 out of a lifelong passion for electronics and helping others. Founder Steve Boylan started the business from his home in Airdrie, working on laptops, phones, and PCs for family, friends, and local customers.
Word quickly spread about the quality of repairs, affordable pricing, and honest advice — leading to steady growth and a loyal customer base.
In May 2025, the business reached a new milestone with the opening of our first dedicated store in Wishaw. The store stands as a tribute to Steve’s late father, whose encouragement to succeed and help others provided the inspiration behind the brand.
Today, Dead or Alive Technology continues to evolve, with a vision of becoming the go-to repair and IT support hub across North Lanarkshire, while also serving customers throughout Scotland and the UK.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple:

We want every customer to leave our store or service call feeling supported, valued, and confident in the technology they rely on.

Meet the Founder – Steve Boylan
I’m Steve Boylan, the proud founder and owner of Dead or Alive Technology. My career began with roles at Laptop Power UK in Hunts Cross, Greenbridge Technology in Knowsley, and Smartfix in Slateford, Edinburgh. I later joined Comex2000 for Virgin Media, where I worked across several positions — from Residential Engineer to MDU Management Team.
These experiences gave me a deep understanding of electronics, IT systems, and customer service. But my passion has always been in helping people directly — fixing their technology, solving their problems, and giving them peace of mind.
Dead or Alive Technology is the result of that passion. It’s not just a business — it’s a personal mission to bring trusted, affordable, and community-driven tech support to North Lanarkshire and beyond.
Our Community Commitment & Future Vision
Community is at the heart of what we do. We actively look for ways to:
Support local schools and charities with IT expertise and donations where possible.
Offer affordable repairs so technology is accessible to everyone.
Provide employment opportunities as the business grows.
Looking ahead, our vision is to open additional stores across Scotland, while continuing to expand our business IT services. But no matter how much we grow, we will always keep the personal, customer-first approach that built our reputation in Wishaw.
