When Harry was in school, he wanted to be a fighter pilot. Luckily for us, he soon found himself shifting gears into the world of IT! Harry began as an IT assistant within a small team before he moved into a junior administrator role at a Managed Services partner. After a promotion into a Solutions Architect position, Harry then moved to Quorum, bringing all he had learnt with him.

Harry’s first role at Quorum was as a Systems Engineer within the Projects team. He then moved into a Technical Consultant position prior to becoming a Principal Consultant – a role Harry had a part in creating when he pointed out that every member of the Quorum team was involved in delivering solutions, as well as client care.

Harry deeply enjoys consulting, working with clients to identify what they truly need and building long-term relationships based on genuine service. At Quorum, Harry is able to put both his technical and client-facing skills to use, delivering robust outcomes for a wide range of clients on a daily basis.

When Gemma joined Quorum, she was immediately surprised by its culture: “The team are fun, honest, and they hire really good people, prioritising integrity, morals and good standing, regardless of their technology background.” Gemma’s career at Quorum exemplifies the priority the business places on development opportunities, with a recent promotion to Principal Consultant.

Gemma highlights the importance of prioritising excellence and people in what it is that she believes makes Quorum different. During her employment, Gemma has enhanced her skill set through learning new technologies and developing soft skills: “I’ve learned a lot about myself thanks to the authentic workplace.”

Now, Gemma mentors Quorum team members, enjoying seeing them flourish and change based on the support she’s able to provide them.

Danielle wanted to be a PE teacher – until she took a compulsory IT class in high school, leading her down an IT-related path, which ultimately led her to Quorum. Danielle highlights Quorum’s degree-agnostic position, looking instead for people who are committed to their jobs and who share Quorum’s key values. She loves working with proactive clients who recognise the value of Quorum’s advice and who view their cybersecurity and IT as an investment, not an expense.

“Even at the interview stage, I was immediately impressed with Quorum. Everyone had so much character, they were so keen to get to know me and to have a conversation, not an interrogation – I felt like I was part of the team already. I felt like I needed to work here. These people were my people.”

Danielle values Quorum’s space for autonomy, with each team member empowered to own their work. There’s also a willingness to collaborate and help, with a company culture that’s shaped around supporting each other’s priorities.

For those who may be considering joining the Quorum team, Danielle’s advice is “Apply. You won’t look back if you get the job. No mistake can be made by getting a job at Quorum!”

Feruccio was always good with computers, so it’s not surprising that he “fell into” the IT world. Feruccio had friends who worked at Quorum, and his impression of the company was that it was one of the best places to work, thanks to a friendly and welcoming culture.

When Feruccio started with Quorum in 2013, it felt more like a family than a job. Even with almost a decade of company growth, “everyone has each other’s backs, which is really rare in the corporate world – everyone’s here to work hard, get along and do the best they can.” He’s deeply enjoyed watching the company expand, crediting the culture to the fantastic leadership team.

Trust is a key component for Feruccio. He recognises that at Quorum, people are respected to do their jobs, with a high degree of autonomy amidst a collaborative environment. He sees this trust with Quorum’s clients, too, who see the way the Quorum team looks to add value – even if it means going beyond the original job scope.

“Our quality of work aligns with our values: we deliver what we say we’re going to deliver. We’re constantly asking, “how can we help you better in the long term, not just for the short term?”. It’s why so many of our clients return time and time again.”

Lee’s love for technology developed at an early age, when his parents brought a computer home, and he spent hours playing with Microsoft Paint. Starting in the industry over a decade ago, Lee continued to build his cloud skills before joining the Quorum team three years ago.

When Lee discovered Quorum, he was intrigued by the opportunity to focus on one technology. ‘What brought me to Quorum was that they were cloud-focused and Microsoft-focused. I get to focus my energy on the Microsoft framework. Having the opportunity to work within one framework – it’s something I’ve never seen before, this kind of toolset, in nine years of working in this field.’

Lee began his career at Quorum as a systems engineer within the Cloud Infrastructure team before moving over to Quorum’s Cyber team. He points to the opportunities to grow and shift within his career as one of the major benefits of working at Quorum: ‘My progression has gone in leaps and bounds since I joined Quorum. I’ve always been supported here.’

Lee also notes the transparency of Quorum’s leadership team: ‘At Quorum, when you raise something with leadership, you know it’ll be heard and valued. I didn’t have that in my other teams. Knowing the option is there is really good.’

Sayeh’s career began in the hospitality industry before a desire for more traditional hours led her into project management. After working in a telecommunications role as a corporate receptionist, Sayeh took up an opportunity within a project administration role, bringing her closer to crossing Quorum’s path.

Sayeh first met members of the Quorum team in a social setting: ‘they were the life of the party!’. Ultimately, the culture of the team is what attracted Sayeh to Quorum, giving her peace of mind that everything the leadership team shared in the interview was true.

‘At Quorum, you work with a lot of high achievers’, says Sayeh. ‘Everyone’s nice and helpful, and team members respect each other – and we all bring our A-game. We also have balance and diversity across the team dynamics.’

As a part of a small team, Sayeh identifies the attributes of a Quorum team member as someone who wants to grow as a person, with a priority on professional development that allows each team member to make the first step in their career. She notes that the level of transparency at Quorum is unique, with weekly one-on-ones and quarterly company reviews empowering employees to access a level of detail that creates a robust understanding of Quorum’s priorities and growth.

Sayeh’s advice for anyone who’s considering pursuing a career at Quorum? ‘You will love this workplace. You’ve made a good choice!’

A lover of problem-solving, Anson believes his work at Quorum is much like his superpower ability to solve complicated Rubik’s cubes: you identify patterns, and then you work through common steps of solving the problems. ‘I did a lot of puzzles and problem-solving as a kid.
