In 2021, Corecom was awarded ‘Platinum’ status by Investors in People. This accolade recognises excellence in leadership, culture and people management and is held by just 2% of accredited organisations across the globe. Andrew Walsh from Investors in People said, “There is a strong cultural ethos at Corecom – the values of the business are clearly defined and have proved successful in aligning the way the people behave with the goals of the business. They have had a direct impact on the success of the business by focusing not just on what people do, but how they do it. Everyone embraces this valued led approach; they say that the leaders demonstrate the values at all times and that decisions at all levels take account of the values and the Corecom way of doing things. It is good to see how the values have also been interpreted as behaviours through the various review models which everyone is aware of and buys into.” Meanwhile, over the past two years, Corecom has faced economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many companies struggled to survive. However, 2021 was a record-breaking year for the company. With an initial forecasted turnover of £1.8m, the company actually turned over £5.3m at the end of 2021. During 2022, Corecom plans to grow its team from 30 to 50 employees, invest and build a dedicated Learning and Development Team, further build its Graduate Academy, and increase its European presence, while anticipating a turnover of £10m.

They go through extensive training and development to ensure they are getting the best possible opportunities in their careers and are reaching their professional goals. When recruiting new talent, it aims to culture add, not fit. It wants to celebrate the differences of its team and believes that people from diverse backgrounds add to the culture of Corecom. As the company continues to grow, it seeks ambitious, passionate people who will help drive the business objectives. Being a close-knit team, everyone is collaborative and supportive of each other, which contributes to the business’ success, as it’s an environment where people have an incredible work ethic and strive for the same shared goals.
