Here at Active Digital, is it our 26th birthday on 29th November 2022, so its a very happy birthday to us!
It is hard to think of an industry that moves as quickly as the technology industry. In such a fast-paced environment, only the strong survive. We have seen so much change over the last twenty years, it has been a truly remarkable journey. Within the first year of trading, we started delivering all our mobile phones (by hand) and called ourselves ‘Active’ so we could be at the front of the yellow pages to gain more new enquiries. Today, the yellow pages is no more and we now deliver many of devices, same day, sometimes within two hours. We respect and recognise the true power of the mobile device, enabling businesses to transform the way the work and removing the traditional desktop PC use.
Business Director and Co-owner, Jo Wimble-Groves commented, “as we move closer towards 2023, we are excited to see what technology and innovation has in store for our customers. From a business perspective, diversity and inclusion remain a core focus for us because it brings together individual differences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression and capabilities. We recognise that the talent our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our company culture, but our reputation and company’s achievement as well. I can honestly say that working in the technology sector is incredible and I’m so grateful for it. We are so fortunate to work in an industry that continues to evolve and innovate, even through hard times.”
