Testimonials

I have learnt so much

"I have learnt so much about the different areas of cyber, making me realize how vast cyber security is. On a more personal basis, I have also learnt that if you don’t ask, don’t expect. If there is something you want to do or are interested in, just ask."

I have learnt many skills

"Throughout my time at Softcat I have learnt many skills, such as how to effectively build a relationship with customers whether that be through a cold call or a meeting, different types of IT and the role they play within the broader context of a business strategy."

You feel included

"Softcat has a great culture, the people here are great and you are never felt left out. Everyone is forthcoming and they make you feel included."
"The company’s atmosphere encourages growth, not just to benefit the company but for your own self-improvement. Everyone genuinely supports you, and I have been able to significantly enhance my skills as well as progress and settle into my job role. It's truly an incredibly positive place to work.”
Eve Brand
