Social value at Blowfish Technology.
A local team, a local employer and an owner-managed business that answers for how it behaves.
More than the service we sell.
Social value is the wider benefit a business brings to the people and places around it. For us that starts with our own team, and with the North West communities we work and live in.
Blowfish Technology is owner-managed, with a team of 20+ who are all based locally. Nothing is outsourced. The people who answer your call, build your network and fix your problems are employed by us and live nearby.
We keep our commitments modest and evidenced. Where we hold an accreditation, we say so. Where we are still working towards one, we say that too.
ISO 9001 and 27001
Independently accredited for quality management and information security.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Certified to the highest tier of the UK Government’s cyber security standard.
ISO 14001 and 42001

Ormskirk and Liverpool
Based at Hattersley Court in Ormskirk, with a second office at the Liverpool Cotton Exchange.
Everyone who answers your call is employed by us and based locally.
Nothing is outsourced
Four areas where we hold ourselves to account.
These are the parts of the business a client, a tender panel or a prospective employee can check for themselves.
Good jobs, looked after.
Our team is the first place social value shows up. We employ locally and we look after the people we employ.
Careers that grow with the business.
We invest in the people who are already here, so a role at Blowfish can become a career.
Rooted in the North West.
We are a North West business supporting North West businesses, and our offices and jobs are here.
Run to standards we can evidence.
Good intentions only count if someone independent has checked them. This is how we are checked.
Environment, community and ethics.
The areas tender panels and careful clients ask about most.
Less waste, fewer journeys.
We are working towards ISO 14001 certification, and these are the practical steps behind it.
Giving back locally.
We put time and support back into the communities our team lives in.
Fair, lawful and accountable.
How we treat people and suppliers matters as much as what we deliver.
A workplace people want to stay in.
A settled team means better service for clients and better jobs for the people doing them.
