We are one of the UK’s leading providers of technology solutions and services to Corporate and Public Sector organisations. We help them to use technology to solve their business challenges, by putting our employees first. We are a trusted partner to names like Apple, Microsoft and Adobe, reselling their products and services in the form of tailored solutions into the business market.

Apprentices are a huge asset to our business. You don’t need a techie background to join us; we just love to recruit smart, hard workers with the ambition to achieve big things. Our key focus is recruiting Sales Apprentices, a great option if you’re a real people person, who’s target-driven and good on the phone.
