Second half of our first century activities

Is it suitable to use this expression to mean, we are active and alive in the market for more than 50 years? " As we are in Second half of our first century activities "

Solution 1:

The phrase "first century activities" is potentially confusing since "first century" can refer to ancient times. "Our first century of activities" could help to prevent that particular confusion.

Some businesses try to be clever in the way their time in business is expressed. A sentence like the following might seem dull and mundane to the writers they hire:

We have been in business for more than fifty years.

and you will often see that fact expressed something like:

Acme Widgets are entering our sixth decade in the widgets sector.

or even like the following, which seems rather foolish:

Acme Widgets is approaching our seventh decade in the widgets sector.
