Original

What is Original?

Original is a B-Corp certified technology regeneration company founded in 2020 in Cheltenham, United Kingdom. The company delivers digital transformation for enterprise organisations, specialising in hybrid working solutions, cloud transformation, cybersecurity, enterprise networking, and Internet of Things (IoT) through a sustainability-driven framework aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Original's approach to technology consulting is distinctive in its emphasis on sustainability and regeneration. Rather than simply deploying new technology, they help organisations make the most of existing infrastructure, extend the life of hardware, and adopt circular economy principles in their IT operations. Their B-Corp certification reflects a genuine commitment to balancing profit with purpose.

Where will I work?

Original is headquartered in Cheltenham, United Kingdom. The company operates a hybrid working model, with staff splitting time between the Cheltenham office and remote working. Cheltenham is a regency spa town in Gloucestershire with a thriving technology sector, partly driven by the proximity of GCHQ and a growing cluster of cybersecurity and technology firms.

What is the team like?

With approximately 160 employees, Original is a medium-sized company with teams spanning cloud engineering, cybersecurity, networking, IoT, sustainability consulting, and enterprise sales. The team includes certified engineers, project managers, consultants, and sustainability specialists who bring both deep technical expertise and a commitment to the company's environmental mission.

Despite being a relatively young company (founded 2020), Original has grown rapidly by attracting talented professionals who want to work in technology while making a positive environmental impact. The B-Corp certification and 4-day week are both powerful draws for mission-driven candidates.

Work-Life Balance

Original operates a 4-day working week at 32 hours with no loss in salary. For a company of 160 employees in the enterprise technology sector, successfully implementing a 4-day week is a significant achievement that demonstrates the model can work at scale in client-facing, service-oriented businesses.

The 4-day week complements the company's broader sustainability mission. By reducing the working week, Original reduces commuting, energy consumption, and environmental impact while improving staff wellbeing and retention.
