What we do

The Information Technologists' Company focuses on four key areas:
Charity, Education, the IT profession and Fellowship.

Working with charities

Getting the maximum benefit from IT is now a pre-requisite, not just for commercial organisations but also for the charity sector. We work with a wide range of not for profit organisations with the aim of helping them to gain the maximum benefit from their IT. Our members give their time and expertise to provide pro bono IT advice (usually at a strategic level). Find out more about our charity projects, and how to work with us.

Education

For hundreds of years livery companies have supported schools in London and across the country. Our first new build school, the  Hammersmith Academy, opened its doors in September 2011 and we have an ongoing partnership with Lilian Baylis Technology School. Previous projects include HOLNET (the History Of London on the interNET) which is now incorporated into the London Grid for Learning.

IT profession

With members coming from all sectors of the ICT field, we can provide a neutral meeting ground for discussion of issues that are central to both the profession and the City of London. We also run a Journeyman Scheme which supports young IT professionals in the early stages of their career.

Additionally a pro bono Coaching Scheme, provided through the Employment Panel, offers members of the Company & the Royal Signals the opportunity to make use of a number of services to provide help for those looking to transition into a new part of their career. This could be due to job loss, voluntary or otherwise, or could be simply that the time has come for a new challenge.
 

Fellowship

Good fellowship has alway been an equally important pillar of the Livery and our social groups provide a unique and welcoming meeting ground for members and their guests, whilst pursuing their leisure interests in the company of like minded people.
