About Us

Welcome to S.P.R.! Founded in 2023 by Larry Hawkins, a serial entrepreneur and a big kid at heart, we are driven by a passion for new technology and business efficiencies. With a doctorate in psychology, Larry has always been intrigued by the question of "when" – when will the future technology of tomorrow finally arrive? When will the cutting-edge tools used by major corporations become accessible and affordable for all? Fueled by the curiosity of a child and the mindset of an accomplished businessperson, Larry conceived S.P.R. as the answer to these questions. Together with his partners, he has assembled a team of like-minded individuals who share the same excitement for the latest advancements in robotics, automation, and efficiencies. Our collective mission is to source, secure, and make affordable the newest and best products in these fields, empowering smaller and midsize businesses to compete more effectively in the future.

 

At S.P.R., we believe in harnessing the power of robotics, automation, and efficiencies to propel businesses forward. We understand the challenges faced by smaller and midsize companies, and we are committed to providing them with the tools they need to thrive. By alleviating the burden of menial, redundant, and less desired tasks, we enable businesses to focus on what truly matters – growth, innovation, and delivering exceptional products and services.

 

Join us on this exciting journey into the future. The time is now to embrace the limitless potential of robotics, automation, and efficiencies. Together, let's usher in a new era of success and productivity. Welcome to S.P.R., where the future becomes reality!
