We Collaborate - Working as One Team, we are greater than the sum of our parts.  

We Inspire - Our business IS our people.  We support, energise & inspire each other to be the best.  

We Innovate - We embrace change & thrive on it; we never settle for second best, we lead from the front.  We are not afraid to be different.

Each year our employees choose the charities that we support through donations and the fantastic fund raising activities that our employees take part in and run throughout the year. From marathons and cake sales to cycling endurance and sky dives, we are dedicated to supporting charities close to our hearts and those most in need in our local communities.

We have just introduced a new volunteering program that spans our global organization. Each member of our team will be able to spend a day a year supporting a charity or local community project of their choice. Whether that’s fundraising for a charity close to their hearts, contributing to a local community or environmental project, we are giving our team the opportunity to make a real difference in the areas where we operate and in the communities we live in. We are committed to giving something back. In future newsletters we will highlight the fantastic work our employees have done in their communities.

JOIN OUR TEAM

The continuing professional development of our employees is a core business strategy. This is absolutely critical when providing exceptional levels of client and partner service and best practice. Livingstone Group’s team regularly attend professional, vocational and technical training courses provided by a range of bodies, partner organizations and leading industry vendors.

Career Opportunities

Since we were established we have developed young talent from the local areas where we operate through our Apprenticeship and Graduate Programs, building their skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications to the highest levels. Taking on apprentices and graduates each year has represented a significant investment and commitment in terms of time, budget and administration, but we feel this is an important initiative in our strategy to invest in young people for careers in IT and Technology.

Nearly half of all businesses (46%) reported a cyber breach or attack in the past 12 months (Cyber Security Breaches Survey, Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport) and this is increasing. So the need to tackle cyber crime has never been greater, it undermines confidence in our communications technology and in our ability to do business and it costs businesses billions every year.
