About us

Obsidian Group is the trading name of Jazapax Ltd, a company founded in 1964 by Jordi’s father Ricard Morell and his partner Russell Graham.  The company began by leasing work-shop space in Bolton.  In 1980 Jordi bought out Russell and whilst working as a audio engineer at the BBC took over the administration of the company.

Then in 1995 having been made redundant as Business Manager at the BBC, he sold the premises in Bolton and opened The Virtual Business Centre in Chester.  Intending to offer a Virtual Office service only, the premises acquired meant that the Virtual Business Centre could also be a real physical Business Centre.

Conversion of the premises to provide flexible office units, using the then state of the art computer networks commenced and opened its doors in November 1996. It was so successful that within a year a mezzanine floor was created in the warehouse and another floor of offices was created.

A New Beginning...

With this new status it required a new image.  As a team we decided a new name was needed that best suited the type of business that we wanted to be.  After days of researching and brainstorming in 2005 the Virtual Business Centre was renamed Obsidian.  The name suited perfectly, a rock that formed when volcanic lava met with water and we felt that it reflected the bond with the personalities in the team.

Today we continue to upgrade our offices to provide current state of the art facilities to our clients, in IT, Cloud processing and Telephony.
