The Zinc Group: Driving digital transformation for 20 years – business growth and protection in synergy.
Zinc News
A message from our Founder & CEO, Joe Zielinski:
Today, Zinc celebrates its 20th birthday. It’s hard to believe, I’ve been dedicated to Zinc for half my life!
As most of you know, I’m a quiet, unassuming leader who believes in hard work and building relationships to make a difference. I started Zinc with a vision to help businesses navigate the digital age with a blend of personal service, innovation, and stability.
My business partner Paul Coverdale joined the business 15 years ago – at work we are complete opposites (but the blend works!) and collectively we manage a 75+ strong diverse team split across two continents. All glued together by our Office Manager, Liz, who’s been with me from the start and her unwavering support keeps the behind the scenes operating.
Over the last two decades, we’ve seen remarkable advancements in technology and the digital era: the online bubble, rise of social media, the explosion of e-commerce, smartphones/devices connecting everything, and cloud computing transforming data storage and access. Security has also become a critical focus as we face unforeseen threats and we’re now diving into an AI revolution, navigating this unknown territory that promises to change our world.
Today, I sit here a little more bleary-eyed, thanks to my two under 2 boys! For both – there is no difference between night and day, it is a 24/7 operation of growth and challenge. Every morning, I still have a burning desire to grow and push Zinc forward and our vision remains unchanged as we drive digital transformation initiatives across our two thriving businesses in the group.
Zinc Digital and Zinc Systems, our dual approach drives business growth and protection in synergy – two sides of the same coin.
