1 Group's roots started in Auckland in 1993 with the founding Manager Mark Taitimu starting in Direct Sales. After 1 1/2 years of sales experience training people and managing marketing campaigns throughout the North Island he relocated to Christchurch and developed a strong base team of 36 people in 8 weeks. The company was established that year of 1995 and incorporated as 'JDI Advertising Ltd'.
Expanding offices to Dunedin in 1996 and Hamilton 1997 then Auckland in 1998 resulted in a team verging of 100 people nationwide.
In 1999 JDI Advertising Ltd broke it's ties with the Marketing company it used and also changed it's direction and diversified.
This led to the start of City Car Groomers in 1999.
In 2000 JDI Web Design opened it's doors to a relatively new industry to us. We have now developed a portfolio merely by word of mouth and intend to direct market our services early 2004.
More recently under the name of JDI Group we offered services of Graphic design leading to projects for Coca Cola in Christchurch and more recently in the Auckland area.
As of October 2003 we are known collectively as 1 Group , which represents where we are now and our future growth.
The key to our growth and extremely competitive rates is our structure. We have some of the best people in their respective industries contracted giving our customers the best quality and value for their dollar.
" our clients pay hundreds instead of thousands of dollars for the same work"
Where to now? Well we have removed many of our limitations which has put us in a position to offer our clients and customers even more services. Using Datacentres both in the USA and NZ we can meet all of our clients needs.
Apart from that the world is our oyster...with an open mind and an experienced team all things can happen!
