Component Sense Blog

Component Sense has a unique business selling point that separates us from competitors: our people.

Leadership studies pioneer Warran Bennis once said, “Leadership is the capacity to translate a vision into a reality.” From humble beginnings as a one-man band in his spare room in 2001, it is fair to say that Component Sense CEO, Kenny McGee, has had to articulate his original vision well for the company to get where it is today.

As the world is gripped by a cost of living crisis, paying employees what they deserve is crucial. The real Living Wage empowers people to plan for the future and provide for their families. Component Sense proudly celebrates five years of being officially real Living Wage accredited. However, Managing Director and CEO Kenny McGee admits that the business had unofficially paid the real Living Wage long before being officially recognised.

96% of our team say Component Sense is a Great Place To Work, compared to the average of 54% across UK-based businesses. We prioritise ourselves in ensuring our colleagues feel valued and thrive. A big part of this is always looking for opportunities to sing their praises.

Each year on November 1st, companies around the world with Great Place to Work accreditation celebrate their success on Certification Nation Day. But what is behind Certification Nation Day? And why is this occasion so important to us at Component Sense? Keep reading to find out more.

In a world where workplace culture and inclusivity are more important than ever, Component Sense proudly stands among the official Best Workplaces for Women in the UK. We are delighted to have been recognised in the 9th position in the 2023 small business category, an accolade that highlights our commitment to fostering an EPIC environment for all our team members. This recognition by Great Place to Work UK reflects our dedication to staff development and our flexible, hybrid work environment, which is particularly appealing to the women on our team.
