OUR HISTORY
Our history as a bonified business started in 1997 when we offered services in the computer and technology space as an Independent Contractor to particularly households, schools and small business. The rapid growth experienced at the time compelled us to register, which we did in the year 2000 under the Business Registration as a Closed Corporation named COMPUTER ARENA CC registration No 2000/048732/23. Computer Arena operated for a number of years until now as a stand-alone business, while we also focused on other interests. Our service range extended from ICT related to also include office requirements as it related to printing and posting at the time providing copy paper, cartridges, envelopes and other office and business machines and accessories.
Our next phase was consolidating all of the other interests and skillsets into a viable business venture. As a result, Arena Professional Services, also known as “The Arena Group“, emerged as an overarching group for the consolidation of all of our business interests and ventures. Arena Professional Services officially started to operate in January 2019 as Sole Proprietorship. Over the years we added various complementary components, including emerging Computer Arena with all of its service and technology offerings as part of, we established Shopping Arena / Arts & Crafts Arena out of necessity to manage the emergence and inflows of eCommerce Platforms, with our own offerings, and our latest addition was the provision of Stationery as Arena Stationery Supplies to consolidate office and related requirements of which some was previously offered via Computer Arena. Having these separate brands assists with commodity focus and streamlining specifics for our clients.
Effective 13 April 2021, our Sole Proprietorship which operated as Arena Professional Services and Computer Arena have now been fully registered as a private company with CIPC with registration number 2021/542813/07.
