1995 To Now: How It Came To Be
1995. The year Windows 95 was released, the year Friends debuted in the UK, and the year that Relativity was founded! That’s right, this September, Relativity turns 30! It’s been a fantastic 30 years of helping clients and connecting with our local community, and we’re so grateful for all the fantastic people we have met over the years from clients, to colleagues, to friends. It’s also been a very busy, hectic 30 years, and in that time Relativity has morphed, changed, and adapted, alongside the fast changing technological world around it. So really, where did it all begin?
Take a little look at our logos! We've obviously had some pretty big changes over the last 30 years!
The Beginning
In 1995, Relativity Limited was incorporated! Gordon started working out of his home office with no plans and no idea what relativity would become. He started with one client, who is still a client to this day, and entered the world of being a small business. The set up came with all the struggles of starting a small business, but it also came with all the excitement of doing what worked for him. There were bumps, there were learning curves, but there were also great successes, and the satisfaction that would come from starting to do what he loved. And so, Relativity started doing what it does best: supporting small businesses and people with software development and online systems.
Making Connections
After 12 years in business, an opportunity arose. An opportunity to work with a brilliant suite of systems, and offer specialised help in the software field. Gordon discovered Zoho, and its wide range of systems and applications, and saw the potential that they had. And so, in 2007, Gordon became a Zoho Partner, and started working with clients to customise Zoho applications and personalise systems to work for them. Not long after, the full business shift was made, and Relativity became a company that worked solely in the Zoho suite, supporting Zoho users across the UK & across the world. In 2015, Gordon attended the first Zoholics UK, networking with other professionals from the UK, as well as experts from the Zoho team across the world. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and has become a highlight of the business calendar as he continues to attend each year.
