A lot has changed since our birth in 1995, selling franking machines (some of which still required a trip to the post office to top up with money!) John Major was Prime Minister, UKIP had only just been formed, ‘Cool Britannia’ had not been invented and Charles and Di were still married.
Technology has advanced rapidly since we started, and we’ve grown by evolving alongside it. Each new product we’ve introduced has enabled more businesses to adopt the latest solutions, steadily expanding our customer base. We are proud of our journey so far and remain committed to driving innovation and supporting customers long into the future.
