Who are Capita?
We’re a consulting, digital services and software business. Every day, we help millions of people by delivering innovative solutions that transform and simplify the connections between businesses and customers, governments and citizens. We partner with clients and provide them with the insight and cutting-edge technologies that give time back, allowing them to focus on what they do best and making people’s lives easier and simpler.

So, what do we actually do? Well, we’re creating better outcomes for London with the new Ultra Low Emission Zone, which we built and operate the systems for. We helped build the software that lets emergency services save lives through livestreaming. We’re also using AI to get chatbots talking and transforming the way the British Army attracts candidates using virtual reality.
