Cerco – IT Project & Deployment Support
Cerco has spent over 30 years supporting organisations across the UK with dependable IT talent, nationwide engineering services, and a commitment to care, respect, capability, and oneness.
Our Core Values
Care
Cerco is invested in providing a high level of customer care. As well as the technical skills to do the job, our Associates are also instilled with the importance of professionalism and courtesy – the end result of which is the delivery of an all-encompassing quality service. We care for our employees as individuals and support them on their journey.
Respect
At Cerco, respect for people, our surroundings, and the environment guides everything we do. We value diversity and promote it across all our business activities, fostering a culture of respect for employees, clients, and others we work with. We are committed to working safely, responsibly, and in ways that minimise environmental impact through practical and cost‑effective actions.
Capability
We ensure that our professionals are capable of performing the task they are assigned. All of our people are regularly assessed and up-skilled thus ensuring a capable workforce our clients know they can rely on.
Oneness
At Cerco we encourage a culture of oneness (whilst respecting the individual). The best results are achieved by Cerco and our clients working together as an extension of each other rather than as separate entities.
Our History
1989
Our Beginnings
Cerco Training was launched in 1989 as part of Granada IT Services, originally created to deliver practical, hands‑on training for individuals looking to start a career in IT. From the very beginning, the focus was on developing real‑world skills that employers genuinely value.
2003
Expanding into Recruitment
In 2003, Cerco expanded its offering to include a recruitment and contract division. This allowed us to place trainees directly into fully paid roles, bridging the gap between training and employment and giving clients access to capable, job‑ready IT professionals.
2010
The Cerco Model Evolves
From 2010, Cerco evolved into the business it is today. We began offering free training and recruitment opportunities to the right candidates while continuing to supply high‑quality, well‑trained IT professionals to our clients. This model strengthened our reputation for developing motivated talent and delivering reliable technical services.
Today
Over 30 Years of Experience
With more than 30 years’ experience, Cerco is a trusted technical services provider to industry leaders including BT, Fujitsu, Computacenter, NCR, Bybox, Vista, and HP. By selecting candidates with strong potential and training them to high standards in both technical expertise and customer service, we consistently meet the expectations of clients nationwide.
Our Partners
For over 30 years Cerco has developed strong and long-lasting relationships with some of the finest and well known brands in IT, the public sector and charity.
It is our commitment to our employment partners and their continued trust in us that has seen us grow as a company
Our Commitment to HM Forces
Cerco makes support for the Armed Forces community a key priority and has signed up to the Corporate Covenant, making a public declaration of its commitment to providing opportunities for ex-Forces personnel.
We are also a proud partner of the Recovery Career Service Partnership, an inspirational career service which empowers ex-Forces personnel that are wounded, injured and sick to achieve a sustainable and fulfilling career.
In September 2023 Cerco joined the Fortinet Veterans Advisory Council. Through its membership, Cerco is perfectly positioned to support those leaving military service into a career in Cyber Security.
