Babble is a leading technology business that is reimagining how we do work. Founded in 2001, the company works with over 18,000 organisations in a wide range of sectors – including financial, health and education, travel and accommodation, and public services – by sourcing deploying and supporting locally the very best cloud solutions.

Babble’s growth over the last few years is one of the big success stories in its industry. This is demonstrated by the private equity investment of Graphite Capital in November 2020 - which was supported by reinvestment from LDC and management - to accelerate the buy and build strategy for the business. Annual revenue has rapidly grown to £125m – 90% of which is recurring. It has over 75,000 cloud-based users, 140,000 mobile connections and 6,500 CCaaS supported agents.

Babble is committed to encouraging diversity of skills, experience and ability amongst our workforce, and to creating an inclusive environment that is free of discrimination. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities and value the positive impact that diversity of thought has on our teams.
