Centenary Business Centre offers perfect environment for tech company to grow
"We couldn't wish for more," says managing director of award-winning company about business centre base
Nuneaton-based IC Solutions 24/7 has been successfully audited against the prestigious International Standards Organisation 90001: 2015 Standard.
One of the first businesses to receive this distinction, IC Solutions 24/7, based at Warwickshire County Council-run Centenary Business Centre, delivers the latest infection control products and services. Its customers range from the National Health Service to privately-owned businesses across the United Kingdom and Europe.
It was established in 2010 by Oliver Canty whose background in infection control and healthcare spans decades.
"We are excited to be awarded the latest ISO 9001:2015 Standard, making us one of the first companies in Warwickshire to receive this international quality rating,” said Mr Canty, the company's managing director. "This recognition follows the ongoing hard work and diligence of all the staff at IC Solutions 24/7 Limited. The certification provides businesses with several benefits - it enables us to show our customers that we are constantly striving towards quality while it can also lead to increased productivity within the workplace."
The decision to work towards the new standard was agreed upon by Oliver and office manager Sharon Burbidge after they decided that, without it, their customers could not be assured of ongoing, state-of-the-art quality.
The standard has become more stringent as technology has improved, so the team devoted a lot of time and effort to ensuring that they conformed - and that effort proved well worthwhile as the company passed on its first attempt.
It is another success story for a company based at the Centenary Business Centre which, says, Mr Canty, has provided the perfect base for his business.
“Centenary Business Centre has helped IC Solutions grow rapidly,” he said. "Our premises there offer us many add-ons which we would not get from renting in the mainstream. From photocopying and faxing to a very welcoming, professional reception area, we couldn’t wish for more. Normally, one would expect to pay a large salary to admin staff that excel in their role, but all this comes with the package at CBC.
"From small start-up units, you can move to larger units as your business grows, and importantly, you are on a monthly contract rather than being tied into a three-year commitment.
"If you want business premises with the resources you need as a start-up (or even established) business, then CBC is certainly worth investigating. I can’t thank the management staff enough for assisting us in growing to the level where we are today.”
