Systemagic certified as a Great Place to Work as it takes on new staff

Bradford on Avon-based IT support provider Systemagic has been certified as a Great Place to Work in an independent audit.

Great Place to Work is the global authority on workplace culture, built on the belief that great employee experiences are better for people, for business and for the world.
