Fighting climate change

We are committed to reducing carbon emissions and supporting customers net-zero goals. To support this, we operate a hybrid working policy ensuring any miles travelled are absolutely necessary and make extensive use of public transport methods where possible to reduce vehicles on the road. We also encourage all employees and sub-contractors to make use of modern electric vehicles to further reduce our impact on the environment.

During customer engagements, we help encourage the reduce, reuse, recycle mentality and often work with customers to implement this method into old computer hardware such as servers, switch's and laptops.

Equal opportunity

City Consulting and Capital is an equal opportunities employer and recognises equity and fairness throughout the business and that discrimination in any form is unacceptable.

Wellbeing

We encourage our staff and partners to balance family and personal life with work commitments. We are a flexible working organisation and allow staff to work around the right times for their life whilst still delivering on customer engagements.
