LIFE AT MUDDY BOOTS Helping our employees & our business excel

The business

Jonathan Evans, Managing Director, Muddy Boots Software

we strive to create a stimulating work environment, where our people get fulfilment & enjoyment in their workplace.

We recognise a software company is not just about great products that are fit for purpose, but about the people that deliver, deploy and enthusiastically support the successful adoption of solutions that have the capacity to add value and develop successful partnerships with our customers.

So attracting and developing talented individuals is key to our ongoing success.

Our strong heritage as a rural business in Herefordshire helps enormously in that process. We remain very proud of our rural roots.

The development and completion of our new head office in Ross-on-Wye, which opened in early 2011, reinforces our commitment to invest in our employees. Built in open countryside, this sympathetic development with strong eco-credentials is designed to enrich the work / life experience here at Muddy Boots; providing excellent facilities for our expanding team, which is growing at a rate of 20% yearon-year.

Being passionate about what we do and making a difference is very much at the core of Muddy Boots’ philosophy. We believe our ethos and environment will continue to help us attract talented individuals to come and join us.
