We are proud to have donated more than 2,000 pieces of unused IT equipment to help cash-strapped schools kit out new ‘digital classrooms’ for their students. Rather than simply recycling or selling on items that are no longer needed, we have become the first corporate to partner with UK start-up charity Every Child Online. The charity is also launching a ‘Pass it on, Essex’ campaign during June, encouraging businesses to not only donate IT surplus, but dedicate a space where employees can also bring in and leave their own unwanted equipment for Mike and the team to collect.
We have some exciting opportunities within our IT department here at Kennedys. Our IT team is responsible for the delivery of a responsive, effective, and timely service to the firm's partners and employees.
