Johnson Reed Jamie Collier, Director

The Avoira team have been fantastic. Setup was seamless and the 8×8 software perfect for a busy sales organisation like ours who spend all day on the phone. High level of customisation available but its the simplicity in using it that makes it stand out. Congratulations on 50 years in the industry.

On behalf of Principal Insurance I would like to both raise a glass and tip a hat to Avoira as the company celebrates its 50th birthday. Our business has benefited immensely from Avoira’s expertise and service ethos, not least through the multi-award-winning AI analytics solution the company developed for Principal.

Avoira's 50th Anniversary

New Year Party!

What a way to kick off Avoira’s 50th year in business. We celebrated in style at our traditional New Year’s Party as the Red Hall in Bury came alive with stunning gold and 50th-themed decorations, a fun photo booth to capture the sparkle, and—of course—delicious food, live music, and fabulous dancing.

A huge thank you to everyone who brought the energy, laughter, and those legendary dance moves, and to our brilliant band Retrospect for keeping the dance floor full all night. 🎉
