Rix Digital – The Technology Start-Up Revolutionising Our 150 Year Company
A digital transformation strategy started by the Rix Group two years ago has now culminated in the launch of a new tech start-up within the business.
Rix Digital is the brainchild of Group Chief Technology Officer Harry Rix, who is the sixth generation of the Rix family to sit on the company’s board.
Harry entered the family business after working at a multi-national management consultancy firm and immediately set about modernising the working practices with a range of digital solutions.
But the approach quickly grew into a ‘radical, long-term transformation’ that has now seen the launch of Rix Digital, an internal digital agency that recently completed the build of the company’s first group-wide website.
Harry said Rix Digital was the most efficient and effective solution to providing consistent digital services across the group.
He has recruited several roles to work in the business and other exciting opportunities are currently listed on the Rix Group website.
Harry said: “Rix Digital is now creating some of the most exciting career opportunities across the entire business. We currently employ a team of developers, creatives, and project managers, and new roles are regularly being posted. “The concept grew out of the digital transformation process I started in 2021. It soon became clear that to create better customer experiences and more efficient working practices, the different businesses in the group would benefit from a range of digital tools and applications. “Rather than outsourcing the building of these, creating them in house became the preferred solution. So I set about building the team that is now Rix Digital. ”Harry added that those working in the business had the opportunity to use cutting-edge tools and technology. He said: “Everything we do is innovative and bespoke to the group company’s need and as such it is vital we attract the best talent. It is for this reason we offer fantastic benefits at Rix Digital, as we do all companies in the group. People can find out about the latest roles available by regularly checking the Rix Group website. ”To see the jobs currently on off at Rix Digital and across the wider group, click here.
