The World Cup Spirit continues at O-bit House!

The football festivities may have finished at the weekend, but at O-bit House the competition was still fierce come Monday lunch time!
Employees took part in a World Cup Cook-Off, picking World Cup teams and partaking in a tournament that pitched dish against dish from around the globe!
Josh McKee came out on top as the winner after cooking a number of dishes from Slovina. His winning dish was a Goulasz Bake, which is a noodle dish, served with crushed garlic and red onion and then cooked with chicken and mixed spices. Josh said after “It’s really simple to cook, just put in an oven dish with thinly sliced potato on top and grated cheese and then bake!”
His colleagues seemed more than pleased with his efforts, voting him the winner of the cook-off tournament on Monday at lunch. Tom Seddon, O-bit Telecom employee said, “Mmm, delicious! The chicken was tender, the potatoes were so crispy and just the right amount of cheese topping.”
Josh’s Team Leader, Kim Thompson remarked, “I thought it was delicious!”
So congratulations to Josh – we are getting hungry just thinking about it all!

O-bit Head to the Races!

Staff at O-bit Telecom were treated to a trip to Windsor Races this weekend, thanks to their CEO, Dave Breith.

Breith said of the day out, “my staff work so hard all year round to give O-bit customers the best possible service – so it feels great to celebrate by treating them to a day out such as this!”

Buckinghamshire based company, O-bit Telecom, is a premium provider of Lines and Calls as well as owning its own Broadband Network, meaning O-bit can offer dedicated internet access off its own Network backbone.

According to staff members everyone had a fantastic day. Sales and Marketing Director, Elizabeth Sparrow said, “we all had such a fantastic time – its events such as this that bring us closer together as a company and thus mean that we perform better as a team. It’s the reason for the company’s growing success!”

O-bit has been experiencing phenomenal good fortune in recent months, having announced a £20 million turnover at the end of last year and being presented with the ‘Most Innovative Channel Product’ for the VoIP solution Purple Networx back in May.

Quite clearly the staff incentives are both well deserved and already proving fruitful!

Dave Breith Becomes Buckinghamshire Ambassador

Dave Breith, CEO of O-bit Telecom, became the most recent business professional to join the Buckinghamshire Ambassadors network. The group of over 100 Ambassadors is responsible for championing the County when travelling the UK and further afield, due to their accomplishments and status within the region.

Breith stood alongside Formula One driver Mark Webber and fellow entrepreneur Stephen Hayes who owns Wasps RFC and Wycombe Wanderers FC, at the ceremony at The Stage in Mentmore. They were presented with the honour by Cllr David Polhill, the new President of the Buckinghamshire Ambassadors and the BELP Chairman, Alex Pratt.

Pratt said of the trio, “Success attracts success, and having Mark, Stephen and Dave join as Ambassadors will further support our aims to attract new business and jobs to Buckinghamshire.”

Breith was equally positive about the responsibility he was undertaking, “Buckinghamshire is my home county, where I have had the fortune to live for most of my life. I am extremely honoured and humbled to represent it as I believe it to be one of the most beautiful and flourishing Counties in the UK.”

All the Buckinghamshire Ambassadors are entrepreneurs and community leaders, who support and promote the County locally, nationally and internationally. O-bit Telecom is a highly successful telecoms company based in Loudwater that have achieved rankings in the Deloitte UK Top 50 and Top 500 EMEA. Breith is therefore recognised as the perfect candidate to represent Buckinghamshire to the extent that the Ambassador’s network requires him to.

O-bit Heroes Take the Plunge in Charity Bungee!

A brave group of employees from Buckinghamshire based company O-bit Telecom have taken part in a charity bungee jump to raise money for their colleague who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.

The jump took place just outside of Chesham, where Elizabeth Sparrow, Katie Harris and Suzannah Doyle were daring enough to bungee from the height of sixty feet! They were amongst a group of around fifty people who all rose to the challenge in honour of Anna’s Appeal, a cause that is very important to everyone working at O-bit.

Despite some initial fears the three women faced their task head on and all were full of only positive things to say about the experience once it was done. “It was amazing” said Sales and Marketing Director Elizabeth, “such an amazing rush ... and even more satisfying to know that it was all for a good cause!”

So was the risk worthwhile? The trio managed to raise over £1000 collectively! “We were ecstatic when we realised what we had achieved,” says Sparrow. “Anna’s Appeal is such a worthy cause and it feels fantastic to contribute in some way towards it.”

O-bit will be taking part in a range of additional fund-raising activities throughout the summer for Anna’s Appeal, details of which can be found at http://annaappealfund.weebly.com/. CEO, Dave Breith said, “I am so proud of my staff for the effort they’ve made raising money for Anna’s Appeal and we will continue to group together as a company to help out as much as we can!”

O-bit Telecom Triumphs with Purple Networx at Comms Business Awards!

It is celebration time for Loudwater based O-bit Telecom at the Comms Business Awards, when they were presented with the award for Most Innovative Product for their VoIP service, Purple Networx.

The award acknowledges the impact Purple Networx has made on the industry, being the true end-to-end solution and the extent to which it has revolutionised smaller businesses ability to offer an affordable VoIP service of such a high standard.

CEO, Dave Breith, said of the company’s achievement; “We are extremely proud of this award and would like to thank all the members of staff who have worked so hard to get Purple Networx up and running over the past year. It shows what hard work and dedication to a product can do!”

O-bit are expecting the award to draw extra attention to the new, but already extremely popular, Purple Networx service.
