Softcat Limited was established in 1993 by our Chairman Peter Kelly, an entrepreneur who believes in the ethos of ‘work hard, play hard’. With his business ethics and understanding of how to support his staff, he has created the unique culture that is Softcat today.

New sales employees can expect to earn on average: £32,000 OTE in year 1, £45,000 in year 2 and a staggering £80,000 in year 3! At Softcat we have in place one of the best commission structures within the IT industry, where you truly are rewarded for your efforts.
