SYTECH, the Staffordshire-based multi-disciplinary consultancy renowned for its pioneering work in digital forensics and cyber security, is celebrating success after securing the coveted Employer of the Year award at the 2026 Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards.
The prestigious accolade recognises businesses that demonstrate excellence in workplace culture, champion employee wellbeing, recruitment, learning and development, and create an environment where people can thrive.
The recognition is a testament to SYTECH’s long-standing commitment to its people. As a responsible and ethical employer, the company nurtures an inclusive and supportive culture that enables colleagues to succeed professionally while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Through fair pay, flexible working arrangements and a strong focus on wellbeing, SYTECH ensures its people feel valued and supported throughout their careers.
With teams operating in a fast-moving and highly specialised sector, SYTECH is dedicated to lifelong learning and continuous professional development, providing colleagues with ongoing opportunities to build their skills, progress their careers and remain at the forefront of a rapidly evolving sector. The company also places significant emphasis on mental health, offering extensive assistance and counselling support, reinforcing its dedication to colleague welfare.
The award is particularly significant given the nature of SYTECH’s work. Its specialist teams support law enforcement agencies and organisations in tackling digital crime, often handling highly complex and sensitive material. As such, its approach to being an employer goes beyond traditional HR practice and focuses on building a workplace where people feel supported and developed.
Daren Greener, Managing Director at SYTECH, commented: “We’re delighted to have been recognised as Employer of the Year, a testament to the commitment, passion and expertise of our people who are at the heart of everything we do. It’s a real team achievement and something everyone at SYTECH can be proud of.
“We believe that creating a great place to work starts with listening to our people and understanding what they need to succeed. We’ve built a culture where colleagues are supported, trusted and encouraged to develop, whether that’s through learning new skills, progressing their careers or having the flexibility and support they need to achieve a good work-life balance. We’re proud that our teams know their work makes a real difference, playing a vital role in helping law enforcement and organisations combat digital crime and protect the public.”
