Life at Muddy Boots and our Employee BenefitsTRANSCRIPT
LIFE ATMUDDY BOOTSHelping our employees & our business excel
THE BUSInESS
We recognise a software company is not just about great products that are fit for
purpose, but about the people that deliver, deploy and enthusiastically support the
successful adoption of solutions that have the capacity to add value and develop
successful partnerships with our customers.
So attracting and developing talented individuals is key to our ongoing success.
Our strong heritage as a rural business in Herefordshire helps enormously in that
process. We remain very proud of our rural roots.
The development and completion of our new head office in Ross-on-Wye, which
opened in early 2011, reinforces our commitment to invest in our employees. Built
in open countryside, this sympathetic development with strong eco-credentials is
designed to enrich the work / life experience here at Muddy Boots; providing
excellent facilities for our expanding team, which is growing at a rate of 20% year-
on-year.
Being passionate about what we do and making a difference is very much at the
core of Muddy Boots’ philosophy. We believe our ethos and environment will
continue to help us attract talented individuals to come and join us.
Our people are the foundation of The Muddy Boots Way...
