Softcat

Softcat is an IT infrastructure and services company that's been around for over 33 years. They help organizations modernize their tech through five core areas: hybrid cloud, workspace solutions, cyber security, networking, and data/AI automation. They're vendor-agnostic, meaning they work with over 200 partners to find the right solution for each customer, not push their own products.

What makes them different is their people-first approach. You get a dedicated account manager who connects you to their entire network of 250+ service professionals—consultants, designers, support analysts. They've built a 98% customer satisfaction score by actually listening to what businesses need. They're not pretending to be experts in everything; they're honest about finding the right partners.

Their culture runs deep. They value fun, responsibility, community, intelligence, and passion. They're expanding internationally (recently acquired GDT) and operate mainly in the UK and Ireland with the Business Tech Report covering that landscape. They hold themselves to high standards—ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000 certified.

The team is clearly engaged and driven. They've been in enterprise IT services for over a decade with a mature portfolio for every stage: discovery, design, delivery, operation. This isn't a startup trying to be cool—it's a solid, established business that's genuinely committed to customer success and employee satisfaction. If you're looking for a company that actually follows through on culture and values, Softcat seems serious about it.
