Happy 3rd birthday to us!

We can’t believe this day has come round so quickly. You know what they say about time flying when you’re having fun! Over the past three years we have been busy, driving the business forward, expanding our services, and working with some fantastic people.

What started as three of us in a room with a few nice projects has transformed into a 20 strong team across three departments, working on over 20 live projects at a time.

To celebrate we opted for the classic birthday protocol of cake and balloons. As a young company we’re still in the age bracket where it’s acceptable to enjoy a less sophisticated birthday celebration. Perhaps when we get to ten years we’ll aspire for something more like laser quest or ten pin bowling.

To mark the occasion, a milestone which signifies our transition from ‘start-up’ to established small business, we wanted to spotlight some of the awesome team members who have made our success possible.

Chase Callender

Chase joined Cubik as our first employee and has been working at ‘top gear’ helping to accelerate growth ever since. He was responsible for some of the first electronic designs shipped to our customers and has been pivotal in winning some of the bigger projects in the following years. Without Chase’s crucial effort we would have taken a lot longer to get to where we are now.

Sam Beard

Sam started as Cubik’s first production engineer but took on the role of self-proclaimed ‘do-er of all things’, dealing with office systems and quality management as well as production work. Since joining, Sam has progressed to Production Manager and is quality management lead. He has built the Production department from the ground up. Not only is it commercially successful, but also pretty special in the way it runs, with a mix of experienced technicians and apprentices. Sam has cultivated an environment for learning and development without losing the ‘go do it’ attitude which means the team always deliver on time.

Sophie Adams-Foster 

Sophie came to Cubik as a contractor in our first year to optimise Marketing efforts and was instrumental in raising the business’ profile and maximising visibility in the early stages of the business. She designed clever brochures, exhibited our wears at Venturefest, networked and made connections with local academia and industry, laying important groundwork for future growth and development. Sophie takes the lead on New Product Design and Development and manages our Project Management team whilst overseeing all new business activity.

This year we’ve had some great successes - winning awards, working on innovative projects and growing our team. The year ahead holds more change, with the possibility of new premises, a brand-new industrial design department and (hopefully) some exciting new projects. Big thank you to the Cubik team, our customers, and all our great design partners. Keep your eyes on our feed for more developments, we have some exciting things planned, including a website revamp.
