Company Profile - Softcat Limited

Overview

We provide valued IT solutions to corporate and public sector organisations in the UK, trade with over 2000 longstanding customers and employ over 400 people, from three operational centres. Our turnover now exceeds £200m.

Who are we?

Softcat Limited was established in 1993 by our Chairman Peter Kelly, an entrepreneur who believes in the ethos of ‘work hard, play hard’. With his business ethics and understanding of how to support his staff, he has created the unique culture that is Softcat today.

We aim to be the leading quality provider of software licensing, hardware, security solutions and associated IT services to the corporate sector.

Our mission is simple: “to demonstrate unrivalled levels of customer service and employee satisfaction.”

Softcat enjoys a trading relationship with over 3,500 longstanding customers, predominantly from the UK corporate sector, but also including large enterprises, small businesses and public sector organisations.

Softcat achieved a turnover in excess of £220 million in its last financial year and has been profitable since inception, resulting in a strong balance sheet and very firm financial foundations.

As an organisation Softcat cares passionately about two things – outstanding employee satisfaction and world class customer service. We believe the former drives the latter
