Strength in Balance
The Version 1 Difference
Defined by our commitments
For the past 20 years we have worked 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 range and capability of technology today is truly amazing but without great people nothing happens.

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 20 years ago.
- Tom O' Connor, CEO of Version 1
