Our Vision for Our People
A Responsible and Ethical Business
We look after our people, our customers, our planet. As a responsible business, we monitor our impact ethically and environmentally and encourage our teams to give back to local communities.
Proudly Committed to Safeguarding Mental Health at Work
As early signatories to the Mental Health at Work Commitment, which is now a growing movement of over 3000 employers, FourNet declared publicly that the wellbeing of our people is a key priority. We are determined to have a genuine long term positive impact on employee wellbeing, which is why we support Mental Health Week; have a growing band of Mental Health First Aiders; and an employee assistance programme for those in moments of need. We organise monthly meditation sessions and our reflection room - complete with yoga mats and prayer mats - is a place where we encourage employees to find moments of calm. Asking for support isn’t a sign of weakness. We want everyone who works at FourNet to feel they can be themselves, be open about their mental health and ask for support if they need it.

I work in the professional services team as an application support specialist. I am about to move into the service area of the business in a T3 support role. There is no such thing as an average day for me, no two days are the same.

Project Manager - Cloud Enablement
I work in the operations department as a project coordinator, it is very fast paced, and we are always busy taking on new projects. I mainly look after anything that wouldn’t get assigned to a project manager, so the smaller orders through to the change requests and helping the PMs with their additions to larger projects.
Matt Croft

I work in the sales team leading on solutions for the Public Sector. My days are never average! I could be meeting customers face to face or via online collaboration video conferences one day; the next day I could be working with the bid management team (presales, bid manager, project management office and operations staff)...
