Salesforce
Salesforce is built on a set of four core values: Trust, Customer Success, Innovation, and Equality. By making technology more accessible, Salesforce is helping to create a future with greater opportunity and equality for all. This has taken our company to great heights, includingbeing named one of the FORTUNE “100 Best Companies to Work For®” 2020 — 12 years in a row.
There are those who choose to work with the best and brightest. And then, there are those who want to do more than just a job. They are the ones improving lives, not only their careers. Having an impact now instead of later. Doing something that’s so much bigger than themselves, an industry, and their company.
We believe everyone can be a Trailblazer. Join Salesforce and discover a future of new opportunities.
Be Successful Together
Leading British companies of all sizes including Aston Martin, Barclays, British Airways, Centrica, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), Hive, EuroStar, Funding Circle and Rated People use Salesforce to power their digital transformations and connect with their customers in a whole new way across sales, service, marketing, commerce and more.
The UK business is our #2 market globally. In June 2018, we announced plans to invest $2.5bn over the next five years to support our growing customer base here. We continue to grow our presence with offices in London, Staines, Manchester and Glasgow.
