Life at Senate

At Senate, we want to break the tradition of what a company should be. We’re a forward-thinking company who values each and every one of our employees and we ensure they are able to bring their whole self to work every day.

Our Culture

We’re an award-winning business, which leads from the front. Our people are our culture and together with our values, they drive us to be the best we can be. We recognise the importance of having an inclusive culture in which all of our people can thrive and where they are not afraid of bringing their whole self to work.

By embracing diversity and inclusivity, we are able to offer different skills, ideas, approaches and expertise to our business and our clients – thinking differently about the problems we tackle.

We were crowned LGBTQ+ Business of the Year in 2020, which saw us beat some very tough competition to lift the trophy. This award win proves that we like to do things differently to everyone else and our culture around the business supports this.

The true value of Senate rests within its people, and we understand that not everyone is the same, we all bring different ideas and talents to the team.

We are committed to developing those talents, so you can grow and develop in your role with us, no matter what stage in your career you join us, we are here to help you succeed!

We offer all our people access to a suite of structured learning opportunities, whether that’s online courses, mentoring opportunities or more bespoke training sessions, we aim to support you to be the best you can.

As an employee of Senate you can also benefit from our Employee Reward Scheme, which includes access to Lifestyle Discounts – including Gym discounts, Bike Scheme, Technology Scheme, Motorsave Scheme, Voluntary (Direct Debit) – Health Cash Plan, Health Assessments
and Financial Planning help and advice.

At Senate, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile for our clients. We recently worked on refurbishing Ronald McDonald House; a children’s charity based in the heart of Liverpool.

We’ve worked hard to ensure everyone is able to be who they want to be at Senate and last year we won ‘Best employer’ at the LGBTQ+ Business Awards in Liverpool – beating some well-known companies along the way.

We love sharing our experiences with others and a great way for us to do that is to attend career events with our partners and clients advising young people how best to get into a career in M&E.

At Senate we love to give back, which is why we’re happy to support projects, such as Thrive in Liverpool. Here we are sharing our knowledge and experiences with young people and employers for across the region.

“The team at Senate is really supportive, we all work as one and motivate one another. You know you work with a great team and for a great company when you enjoy being at work.“

Hannah Grue – Maintenance Scheduler

“It is a cliché, but you have to love where you work and being part of the team at Senate, does just that. Being part of a team, you can rely on and who has your back is what Senate is all about.“

Natalie Mooney – M & E Operations Co-Ordinator

“Our people are the most important element at Senate, without them we wouldn't have our positive culture. Everyone is able to bring their whole self to work and we embrace that, all working together to put the clients' needs first.“

Phil Raynes – Head of Electrical & Construction Services

Apprenticeships

Being able to offer apprenticeships and to be a positive influence in someone’s life is what Senate is all about. We work closely with Thrive Careers Hub, a Liverpool based company which works with young care-leavers.

One young person we have helped into employment is Adam, and here is his story.
