“Our people are a point of difference,” says Solutions PT, founded in 1985 by CEO John Bailey to provide modern IT solutions for the industrial world. For more than 30 years, the company's mission has been to help drive continuous improvement and success for customers through the identification and deployment of world-class digital solutions.
Cheadle-based Solutions PT credits its approach to the human factor and its attitude to customer service in building long-term relationships with clients. Its aim is to understand customer needs so it can continue to help implement great business solutions.
SolutionsPT believes it will continue to succeed as long as it continues to invest in what makes it unique: the training and personal development programmes it offers employees, and the commitment it has to creating the industry experts and leaders of tomorrow.
The company recognises that the level of passion, engagement and knowledge its people have allows it to deliver lifetime value in the solutions it applies and manages for customers. Local and specialised, yet at the same time delivering industrial IT/OT solutions across country, the company has an intimate knowledge of UK and Ireland industry standards and regulations.
It has graced The 100 Best Small Companies to Work For lists over the course of 10 years and holds Investors in People Gold Status, the latter awarded to organisations operating at the highest level of people management practice.
My work is an important part of my life
Employee engagement scores are measured every six weeks and the tiny/Pulse survey ratings increased to 4.6/5 during the pandemic – much higher than the industry average. Staff received doorstop drops of Grasmere gingerbread with a thank-you note; a Devon cream tea hamper for excellent Net Promoter (customer satisfaction) scores; and a luxury Christmas hamper.
The experience I gain from this job is valuable for my future
To ensure a pipeline of talent, SolutionsPT has partnered with two universities to invest in sales or technical career path degree apprenticeships. It fully funds these studies and pays apprentices a salary while they work for the company for four days per week.
My organisation encourages charitable activities
Staff helped provide meals for Stockport NHS workers via the Foodie Friday campaign and held a Christmas Dress Up Day for Joseph's Goal, which helps children with the rare life-limiting genetic disorder NKH. A November Marathon Challenge raised £5,040 for the local St Ann's Hospice and an employee “favourite recipes” cookbook added £500 more.
Companies where at least 40% of the staff have worked there for more than five years.
Companies offering a final salary scheme to all employees, or one in which the employer's contribution is at least 5%.
Companies offering private health insurance to all employees.
Companies where Profit Related Pay is available to all employees.
