About Our Contract Roles in Reading
What is the contracting market like in Reading?
The Thames Valley corridor's concentration of global technology and telecommunications companies defines Reading's contracting character almost entirely. Several firms maintain their UK or European headquarters in and around the town, sustaining deep hiring activity across software engineering, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, networking, and IT programme delivery. This heavy technology skew means Reading lacks the breadth in finance, government, or construction found in comparably sized cities, but within its specialism the depth is exceptional. Proximity to London means the two markets overlap significantly, with many contractors working interchangeably across Reading and west London engagements. Rates closely track London levels for technology roles, typically sitting no more than 5 to 10 per cent below, reflecting the calibre of employers and the intensity of competition for specialist skills.
