Happy 10th Birthday Centrix!

10 years ago this month was the inception of Centrix and the start of a journey that has brought a number of accolades and awards, not to mention impressive growth and stability.

For the Directors of Centrix, it’s hard to imagine that it’s been 10 years already but, to use the old cliché, time flies when you’re having fun. 10 years since we first set up in a small office in Wokingham before embarking on a slightly large office in Basingstoke and then any even larger office in Basingstoke. All within the first 9 months of setting up in business and before the purchase of Winchfield Lodge, our home for the past 9 years.

Along the way we’ve managed to retain the majority of our staff and, thankfully, the majority of our customers. Even the worst recession since the Second World War (allegedly) only claimed a couple of customers and no staff. There have been some challenges in the course of our first 10 years in business but they have been foreseen and perhaps more importantly, quickly seen-off.

On Thursday 27th January we held our Annual Staff Kick-Off event for the year and used the occasion to celebrate our 10th anniversary. For five members of staff who joined us back in 2001, there was a surprise gift of an Apple iPad as a token gesture of our thanks for their commitment and dedication along the way. Everybody then went off to the local pub to take part in our own Pub Quiz before sampling the delights of the local Italian restaurant. Richard Burbage, Sales & Marketing Director for Centrix, had this to say on the event, “It’s been a great evening. A lot of reminiscing about the past 10 years but also a lot of positive feelings and comments about the next 10 years for Centrix. We have, without doubt, the most committed and dedicated staff in the industry, and the success of Centrix is down to each and every one of them. We work hard but, when an occasion like this arises, we play hard too”.
