New Transax Offices in Tricorn House, Edgbaston, Birmingham6367 mol gekuckt ginnThis was photographed in the autumn of 1987. We'd just rented offices on the 9th floor of Tricorn House in Edgbaston, and set about decorating them ourselves. Chris Wilesmith has the paint roller, while Peter French is looking for something. The room in the foreground became the authorisation centre, and the staff break room was behind the partition.

Sergio in the New Authorisation Room4079 mol gekuckt ginnThe offices of Transax SpA in Trezzano, just outside of Milan, Italy. This was the start of the new authorisation centre. In the end, the Italian operation lost 500,000 before we said "enough" and pulled the plug.

Duilio Trinca and Sergio in Portofino, Italy2280 mol gekuckt ginnMarjorie and I were on our Mediterranean cruise (holiday!). We were also in the process of starting Transax SpA in Italy (bad move). Duilio and Sergio drove to Portofino to have lunch with us on our port stop. I've enlarged the photo to see what paperwork they're holding --- it's an application for a Corporate American Express Card. A lasting memory of Duilio and Sergio --- in a restaurant, with a food cart and credit card application.

Transax Christmas Photo - 19871814 mol gekuckt ginnWe'd just moved into Tricorn House in Edgbaston. We still had the funny old Warwick Systems VDU's. We decorated the offices on the 9th floor with the tacky Christmas tinsel, and took this picture of exhausted authorisers (in fact, pretty much everybody) on Christmas Eve 1987.

El Figon de Juan -- and Transax1196 mol gekuckt ginnWe used a company that specialised in employee motivation and incentive travel -- Maritz --- to assist us with our second sales conference at Transax. Maritz sent us to Marbella, Spain. One of the activities was a "rally," where we divided into teams, each in a small jeep-like thing. The goal was this lunch spot. Doesn't that restaurant sign look inviting? Hmmm.
