Synergy celebrates a decade of marketing success
Tue 02 October 2007
One of the South’s most successful telephone marketing companies is marking its tenth anniversary in business with a series of fun days for its team.
Synergy Connections expanded earlier this year by moving into new premises in West Street, Fareham. The official opening of the offices is planned for early October to coincide with the company’s 10th anniversary.
Gill Curran, Managing Director of the Fareham-based marketing specialist which has a permanent workforce of 30 and regularly employs an additional 25 temporary staff, said the gathering is to thank everyone who has supported Synergy over the last ten years.
"To be able to celebrate a decade in business is a real milestone for Synergy," said Gill, who won the Highly Commended Award for Business Personality of the Year at The News Business Excellence Awards this year.
This year has been a particularly memorable year for Synergy as one of its founders Alexandra Wiggins, who left the company 18 months into its start-up due to serious illness, rejoined in June as a full-time Sales Director.
"The expansion into new offices and Alex returning marks the beginning of a new era for Synergy. If the rate of growth and development over the last 10 years is anything to go by, the next decade looks set to be even busier!" added Gill.
Synergy has held events throughout 2007 and recently hosted a team day where 30 employees in pirate or nautical theme fancy dress, set off on a boat, ‘Seafin’, and sailed along the south coast. A bespoke ‘Synergy Connections’ flag was produced to fly during the day. Once moored they were able to ride on jet skis, sing karaoke and in the evening the team were invited to a party at Gill’s house.
Whilst at a charity action earlier this year, Synergy bid for and won a flight in the B&Q ‘Top Gun’ plane. The company put employees’ names into a hat for a chance to win the ride of a lifetime, which takes place later this month, and Shaun Weston was picked as the lucky winner.
For the next planned event, the opening of the West Street offices this month, Portsmouth football player Linvoy Primus will be declaring the building officially open. Linvoy is the patron of Faith+Football, the charity Synergy supports.
Synergy Connections provides telemarketing, lead generation and market research for a range of blue chip clients. The company holds the prestigious ISO 9001 Quality Certification.
