PC Consultants has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity, one of 197 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise. A total of 199 Awards being made, with two companies being recognised with two Awards.
This honour made even more significant in the fact that the company was one of only 10 nationally to receive the award in the Promoting Opportunity through Social Mobility category.
Founded in 1993 and based on the Isle of Wight, PC Consultants focus on providing unrivalled IT Service, Support, Sales and Consultancy to businesses and private clients across the Island, UK mainland and Internationally.
This most prestigious award reflecting the company’s focus on providing IT opportunities for individuals irrespective of personal circumstances and academic achievement; consciously recruiting staff from non-typical, disadvantaged backgrounds. Exemplary, because it is not an adjunct to the core business, but part of the company’s DNA.
Within this, PC Consultants has an inclusive and supportive work culture, with everybody contributing to the well-being of others. The workforce determining their career pathway, whereby individuals can identify and review with their mentor or line manager and implement their own training requirements or other needs. The fact that members of the senior management are all beneficiaries and, therefore, exemplars of the ‘initiative’ demonstrates the impact.
Jonathan Thornton, CEO of PC Consultants comments: “There is no greater recognition than receiving the Kings Award for Enterprise, and we are immensely proud of this award. An incredible achievement, not only for the company, our team and clients but proof that that commercial success and social mobility are not mutually exclusive.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.
