SEMINGTON-BASED company Office Evolution has just marked its 10th birthday with a party for over 100 people.

The Wiltshire photocopier company, in Semington Turnpike, invited customers and suppliers from across the county to enjoy a slice of cake and a touch of magic with them at Trowbridge Rugby Club. From humble beginnings in a garage, the company has grown, providing its services to schools and businesses across Wiltshire, Somerset and Avon.

Tegan Powell-Mantle, 25, customer service manager of Office Evolution, said: “It’s amazing that Steve Davis and Matthew Goodall, the company directors, started out of their garages: they were neighbours. Now we have two units with offices. We have also won Wiltshire Business of the Year. All of the staff are Wiltshire-based, we are 100 per cent a local company. Where we can we go for local supply.”

The celebrations marked an important milestone in the company’s life, so the employees celebrated with style alongside their valued customers.

She added: “The party was great, it was very stressful as you never know who will turn up, people say they will but that can change. we had 100 people turn up, the vast majority being customers, some of them being customers for the whole ten years we have been running.

“We had a magician there who did close up magic tricks, it just went really well from the feedback we have received. It wasn’t just a chance for everyone to celebrate but to network as well."
