1985
Introduced
SIAX Started
SIAX opens its doors as a “break-fix” business locally owned and servicing local businesses.
2004
SIAX ownership changes and David Turner takes over the business
David had worked within the SIAX company as an employee and could see the potential of the business to be more than a “break fix” company. He took over SIAX in 2004 and, through hard work, determination and heavy investment, laid the foundations for the reputable, locally owned Managed Services powerhouse that SIAX is today.
