A LONG-ESTABLISHED family firm has unveiled its new hi-tech premises and corporate name and revealed that it hopes to create an extra 40 jobs over the next six months.
Cats Solutions Ltd, a digital print service provider, has recently moved into new purpose-built headquarters at Rushey Platt, Swindon.
The company, which employs 75 staff, provides a 24-hour, seven day a week service to clients, many of whom are based in the City of Lon-don.
According to managing director Greg Smith, the firm's continued expansion will almost certainly lead to new jobs.
He said: "I can predict that we'll be looking to employ at least another 30 to 40 people over the next half-year."
Mr Smith admits that when the company opened its doors 11 years ago, he "didn't dare" imagine it would become as large as it is today.
He said: "Our first week's takings were £62.73. Today, we're a multi-million pound business, and in a good week we can do over £100,000 worth of business.
"You imagine and you work hard and think, one day, we'll be there, and then one day you actually sit down and think we've moved a mountain and a half."
Despite the success, however, Mr Smith believes the best is yet to come.
He said: "We've come this far, and we've got so much knowledge in the industry, and we're so focused, that next year I expect to nearly double our turnover."
In addition to changing premises (the offices were formerly on Commercial Road) and its name (previously Copycats), the company has also changed its company logo to what Mr Smith describes as "a very powerful 'C' on a passionate background".
And as if all that change weren't enough, Mr Smith says the firm's customer base is also evolving.
He explained: "With the greatest of respect, we're not on the high street anymore, and our clientele, like our image, is very, very corporate."
