The Novatech team always pull together, to deliver; from the pandemic, to a cost of living crisis and changes in the markets we operate, they constantly adapt and remain cohesive and focussed to achieve. This is testament to the passion, dedication and team spirit we have. It is vital to us that we look after our employees, supporting physical, financial and mental wellbeing as well as constantly finding ways to improve life at work. My priority is to always make sure we always do the right thing by our people and our customers. Previous Best Companies survey results have given us a great amount of honest feedback where we have made positive changes based on this. I am so pleased to that with over 90% participation rate, people feel their opinion counts - and it really does!Our people are at the heart of what makes Novatech great, we wouldn’t be where we are after 37 years if it wasn’t for our fantastic team.
