History of ROCC
Redifon Computers Ltd was established in 1976 by Rediffusion Ltd to sell data entry minicomputers. In January 1977 Michael Aldrich joined the company. In 1979 he invented teleshopping (later called online shopping) and pioneered modern e-commerce and e-business. He also invented the Teleputer in 1980, a fusion of PC, TV and Telecom, and pioneered modern cable TV systems in 1981. In 1984 he patented a static signature verification system. The company became a pioneering IT company achieving a significant number of world firsts.
In 1984, Aldrich led a management buy-out of the company as the largest shareholder. He renamed the company ROCC Computers and subsequently bought out the other shareholders. He retired in 2000 and became non-Executive Chairman.
The company has been involved in many high profile projects and has become known for its innovations with projects such as the maintenance and logistics systems for the Siberian Gas Pipeline (1981/1982) and many UK government projects including Cattle Passports following the BSE crisis (1998).
Since 2000 ROCC has been run by a talented and experienced management team led by Luke Aldrich CEO. ROCC has continued to change, divesting its engineering business and acquiring specialist companies with unique technology and service offerings.
ROCC today is an innovative technology company conceiving, designing and selling complex software, consultancy and services solutions to the Public and Private Sectors throughout the UK and Europe.
