Why work at Idwal?

We blend the essence of a tech start-up with the tonnes of maritime industry experience. On the one hand, we have many of the positives associated with a start-up. We work in a fast-paced environment that encourages entrepreneurship and innovation, where we both empower and support our people. We’re also developing industry changing products using the latest technologies. On the other hand, we don’t have the negatives associated with a tech start-up.

We’re established in market as a first class leader, and we’re a profitable business. Furthermore, we have very ambitious yet achievable growth targets, along with a global client list that includes leading banks, financial institutions, private equity groups, ship owners, brokers, insurers and charterers

What's it like at Idwal?

We like to think of ourselves as a family, which isn’t surprising when you consider we originated from a third generation Welsh shipping family. We’re friendly and sociable, and regularly get together for team and charity events. We also value our team.

We make every effort to provide an environment where people enjoy coming to work and have the opportunity to thrive. As we have more than doubled our workforce in the last 18 months, there are plenty of opportunities for progression. Finally we have a great view of Cardiff Bay and an excellent coffee machine.
