A Borehamwood based ID and loyalty card manufacturer is celebrating its 10th birthday on the back of two record quarters!
Universal Smart Cards has been in business for 10 years this month and the last two quarters have been record-breaking both in terms of turnover and the number of smart cards they have produced. Universal produces smart cards from their manufacturing unit and sends them to clients as close as St Albans and as far away as New Zealand!
Its Head Quarters at Devonshire Business Park in Borehamwood is managed by Directors Chris Allen and Michael Smith. "When Universal started it was literally run from a back bedroom! We now have a 10,500 square foot manufacturing unit, purpose built HQ and a Northern Sales division in Lancashire. The business really is booming and we've recently recruited a marketing assistant and a new senior sales person" said Chris.
Like all modern businesses technology plays a massive part in the running of Universal and upcoming investments include an all new ecommerce website, integration of SAGE 200 across the business and new communications hardware.
