to work for

Utilize is a powerhouse of managed services, established in 1997 on the vision of its founder. Starting from humble beginnings, with just a £2,000 investment, the company has now grown into a leading technology solutions provider located in the South East of England. The company's ethos is deeply rooted in its five core values — Relationships, Giving, Care, Improvement, and Ownership, which are the guiding force behind their actions and business strategies.

The company takes great pride in the collaborative environment it has fostered, with open-plan offices and shared spaces designed to encourage interaction, innovation, and a sense of community. This culture of collaboration extends beyond just physical spaces; it is also reflected in its monthly live company updates. These online sessions, led by the leadership team, keep all employees in the loop about the company's performance, progress, and challenges and provide a platform for open communication and feedback.

Employee wellbeing is also of paramount importance at Utilize. The company has implemented a 'Wellbeing Plan' and has twelve Mental Health First Aiders, reflecting a committed approach to creating a supportive and positive work environment.

At Utilize, the journey of making clients’ technology experiences exceptional is intertwined with empowering its employees to reach their full potential. The annual 'NYK' New Year Kick-off is a testament to this, bringing together all employees to celebrate achievements, share future plans and recognise the value of their contributions.

Through a culture of trust, respect, and continuous improvement, Utilize ensures its team members grow professionally and personally.
