About JMC IT

JMC’s Managing Director prides himself on being approachable and the fact that he has been with the company for 25 years means that everyone knows him well. Whilst he is one of the few people who has an office of his own, the door is always open and people are encouraged to call in for a chat. Further testimony to his approachability is that all staff and many clients refer to him by his nickname, “Budge”. A firm believer in developing a strong social culture within the business, “Budge” came up with the idea for Team JMC, an initiative to encourage sporting, social and charitable involvement and interaction throughout the organisation.

JMC has a strong culture of ensuring that staff look after their well-being. All staff are offered a health scheme that can be used to fund a range of health related treatments including physiotherapy. JMC also provide a wide range of resources and support for those that wish to take a break from the working day and improve their fitness and/or relax. Their facilities include on-site gym, circuit training sessions at lunch, two table tennis tables, a badminton court, three mountain bikes that can be used for lunchtime rides, pool table and darts board. Anyone taking part in any competitive activities can do so under the “JMC's Team JMC banner”, and receive a range of free support options including funding, a branded weatherproof gazebo, their Team JMC van, branded clothing. Getting people involved in the above has been hugely beneficial for the business and the people involved. From just letting off some steam at lunch, to developing new skills and interests, through to getting to know people within the business that you wouldn’t normally meet. JMC have also uncovered some real stars amongst the team that have gone on to achieve some amazing results including one of their engineers Jason Miles, who has won many 24-hour mountain bike races and Alex Lawton who is now Team GB triathlete.pasting

Staff are allocated a paid half-day every three months that they can use to “Give Something Back”. A member of staff’s annual entitlement can be combined to allow them to undertake two days consecutive work if needed. JMC allow staff to suggest the causes that they would like to support rather than present themselves. This financial year they are supporting Salford Foodbank with all funds raised going to this great cause. Currently they have people using their Giving Something Back time to undertake shopping collections and deliveries, as well as packing food parcels for Foodbank visitors.
