Strength in Balance

The Version 1 Difference

Defined by our commitments

We work hard to deliver on three commitments; making a real difference for our customers, building an empowering culture and growing a strong organisation for the future. Those looking for a short term result or an easier road might sacrifice one benefit for another, but at Version 1 we never have, and never will. We know that our greatest strength is balance across all three; our customers, people and company. This is The Version 1 Difference. 

The Shape of Success

  • Customer Success

    Making a real difference through long-term, outcome-focused relationships – success that fulfils our people and fuels our growth.

  • Empowered People

    Deliberately selecting, empowering and trusting people who are wired to deliver customer success - an empowerment that drives customer loyalty and organisational strength.

  • Strong Organisation

    A high-performing, financially strong organisation of the highest integrity – a strength that empowers our people and delivers customer success.

I firmly believe we have built something special in Version 1, a uniqueness based on a Version 1 way of doing things that helps differentiate us. Most services companies struggle to answer the question ‘what’s unique about you’, we don’t. Our balanced approach to achieving success has been twenty years in the making and our relentless focus on preserving it is why we still have customers with us from when we first opened our doors 25 years ago.
- Tom O' Connor, CEO of Version 1
