About the Employer
On 1 April 1946, in the challenging years following the Second World War, Bill Search took the bold step of starting a new business from a tiny attic office in East Parade, Leeds. It may not have seemed like the ideal time to launch a company, but it proved to be the beginning of a story built on service, trust and long-term relationships.
Eighty years later, Search has grown and evolved significantly but the principles that shaped the business remain the same. We still believe in understanding our customers’ needs, delivering dependable solutions, and providing a friendly, flexible and professional service at every stage.
Today, Search is proud to be an employee-owned business. Our Employee Ownership Trust reflects the values that have always been at the heart of the company: shared responsibility, long-term commitment and a genuine focus on doing the right thing for our customers, our colleagues and the communities we support.
We work closely with every customer to understand what is needed, respond quickly, and deliver solutions that are safe, suitable and well supported. We are proud of the customers we work with, from local businesses and event organisers to major venues and contractors. But most of all, we are proud of our people. As an employee-owned company, every member of our team has a stake in the success of the business and that shows in the care, commitment and service we provide.
For 80 years, Search has been built on people, service and trust. As we look to the future, those values remain at the centre of everything we do.
