The Founder of Spider Company is Savage Lockington, a mild man, but advanced in years with his knowledge on technology and the services that Aitutaki dearly needed to break into the 21st century.
Early 2003, he added an internet cafe to his general store, but still, there was no name for the store. So over a chin wag with his dear friend, Sabati, who suggested the name "Spider!", "why Spider" was the reply, "cause - you know!, the spider makes the "web/ interNET". So, Savage asked Sabati if the word "spider" is mentioned in the Bible, as they are both astute Christians. The word "spider" is mentioned in the Book of Proverbs - and the "Spider" symbolises "Wisdom". So, "Spider Company" was founded on strong christian beliefs, even to this day.
Savage Lockington has handed over the reigns to his son John Lockington and Aaron Mataiti (his Nephew), though he is still passionately involved with the daily riggers of his business on Aitutaki.
Spider Company has grown since then, the internet cafe is no longer but we have added Timber and Building products, Electrical and Plumbing Fittings. Whiteware products including Stoves, Ovens, Fridges and Freezers. We are authorised agents of Samsung TV's and Fridges, along with LG TV's and Stereo systems on our shelves.
