We pride ourselves on being a great place to work but don't just take our word for it, here's what Technical Sales Engineer, John has to say.
"The nice and decent people are what make the company. The professionalism of the company and the way it is ran is excellent; it is well organised and always comes through on any agreements as and when expected. I would say it is on top of its employee relations.
I mainly work within BMS and Infrastructure, BMS being my area of expertise. I find my work interesting, enjoyable and challenging, not only does it utilise the experience I have previously gained but provides me with the opportunity to continue developing; there's lots to get your teeth into!
If I could describe PDS culture in three words it would have to be friendly, inclusive and professional."
