Wren Kitchens launches new IT Academy to invest in local talent

The IT team at Wren Kitchens headquarters – The Nest – at Barton-upon-Humber, is seeking new developers to join its team.

Wren Kitchens is launching an IT Academy with the hope of attracting nearly 50 new employees to support the expansion of its in-house IT function.

Based at Barton-upon-Humber, Wren, has recently been crowned the best place to work and aims to continue to be at the forefront of the industry with innovative software and technology, focussing on almost doubling its IT capacity over the next year.

The role will support a whole host of ground-breaking projects from state-of-the-art virtual reality, to the industry leading CAD based planner system and mobile applications.

To further enhance the team, Wren is also looking to recruit 10 new Senior PHP and JavaScript Developers with at least three years’ experience in either field. 

“Our IT Developers are at the heart of the business and we recognise that their innovative skills are critical to our continued success,” said Wren Kitchens IT Director, Craig Douglas.

“Investing in the future of our employees through development and training is something we have always done here at Wren, so this new initiative will further strengthen our focus on new talent.

“It’s the most exciting time in Wren’s history for people to join the team, as we continue to expand at a fast pace, with the increased need for the most advanced technology to continually support our employees and customers.”

There are over 1600 people based at Wren’s headquarters working in various roles including customer services, marketing, manufacturing, HR, finance and property. The site has exceptional facilities including an onsite gym and subsidised canteens nestled in a scenic location at Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire. 

For IT graduates looking to diversify into the industry or senior IT developers looking for a challenge, Wren has opportunities, and details fo how to apply, on its website.
