What employees say

"Something as simple as monthly treats and a day off for my birthday really makes me feel valued as an employee!", Emma Charlton, Events Manager & Graphic Designer.

"Node4 has always been a great place to work, the culture, ethics and values of the business are first class. The added incentives over recent years have truly enhanced this", Claire Rowland, Customer Experience Manager.

“I think the idea of Node4 giving back to the employees is fantastic. In the last 12 months I’ve received an additional day as annual leave for my birthday and I make good use of lots of savings through N4works perks. It really does add the reasons why Node4 is a great place to work. It’s also a reason to tell my friends and family about Node4 as I boast about the benefits I have from being part of such a great organisation!” Aaron Tebbutt, Vendor Manager
