We share a modern office space in central London with ALCS and PLS and work closely with them, collaborating on many business initiatives and taking part jointly in meetings, workshops and conferences with writers, publishers, licensees and others. We also enjoy social events, away days, charitable bake sales, and friendly competitions. The office is well-placed and within five minutes' walk of London Bridge station. The area offers a huge range of options for lunch as well as excellent transport links to the rest of the city.

FLEXIBLE WORK SPACES

The office encourages working collaboratively and flexibly, with smaller spaces for informal meetings. These pods don't need to be booked in advance so staff can meet and work together at a moment's notice as much as they need to.

STAFF KITCHEN AND SOCIAL AREA

With ample seating, booths, and sofas, the kitchen and social area is where you can go for lunch, host an informal meeting, and grab a cup of tea or coffee. It's also where we host events with ALCS and PLS, including learning lunches and after work social occasions.

MEETING ROOM

The office has plenty of meeting rooms in various sizes, which staff can use for anything from a quick team briefing to a cross-company conference. Meeting room names were chosen based on CLA staff's favourite books and each room is themed accordingly!

What our employees say

Eela Devani

Strategy & Digital Director

"I head up Strategy and Digital primarily for customer-facing products. I am part of the senior leadership team and also in charge of the company's marketing strategy.

I was looking for a fresh challenge when I joined CLA. I wanted to work somewhere I could make a difference and build the digital arm for the commercial part of our business. I have not been disappointed. CLA is in the early stages of its transformation journey to become more digitally focused and agile. I am excited about being part of this journey and help CLA achieve its ambitions.

Having worked for a variety of companies, I can truly say that CLA places a lot of emphasis on personal development. Employees are empowered to push the boundaries, debate and challenge conventional thinking. Being a small company, one is not simply a cog in the wheel.

Every individual plays a role in the success of the business and is encouraged to do so. CLA truly believes in developing its employees. For instance, there are opportunities to attend courses to stay up-to-date and to learn new skills. Excellence is noted and rewarded and the company offers a good work-life balance.

CLA welcomes bright individuals with energy and initiative."

Julie Murray

Education Licences Manager

"I help to make copyright as simple as possible for our licensees in the Education sector. This might include educating licensees about the range of permissions offered with our licences or products, or to address licensee questions and feed these back in to our support, guidance and messaging.

While it sounds like a cliché, by working at CLA I’ve learnt new skills. Coming from a teaching background, my current role has developed my skills in new areas such as marketing and communications. I’ve also had the chance to travel to organisations across the UK, but also overseas. Ultimately I’ve been able to look at education beyond my classroom walls and think about it as a whole, especially its relationship with publishing and technology.

CLA is exploring how we can provide not only rights and licensing but content solutions for users of published materials - this affords unique opportunities to listen to customers and offer ideas. But despite this period of change, CLA also remains interested in me as an individual and my personal goals, beyond my day to day role."

Shantilal Shah

Customer Account Administrator

"I am a Customer Account Administrator in the Customer Service team. I have been working at CLA for 18 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Everyone here is very nice and we have a very nice office as well.

The Customer Service team is responsible for looking after all the renewals of existing licences and processing new licences. I do work for both the education licences and business sectors. My specialty is education data for all our education licences. I provide support to the rest of my team and provide information to other departments when they request it. I enjoy talking to our customers on the phone and helping to resolve their queries.

We have a good social side to CLA as well; the company offers plenty of other events to attend, like away days or corporate volunteering, and the atmosphere is always nice. I would never change what I do and hope to continue providing excellent service to our customers for many more years."

Nicola Girling

HR Administrator

"I was previously the Receptionist for CLA, PLS, and ALCS, but have recently been promoted to HR Administrator. My new role involves recruitment, managing the company payroll, and general HR tasks.

I started working at CLA in 2015 and really love the culture here. Everyone is incredibly supportive and friendly—you really feel like part of the family. My co-workers and managers provided tailored support and training for my career development, culminating in me accepting a new role on the HR team. CLA fosters a social community as well as one based around working for the company itself. I’ve made great friends here who make coming to work something to look forward to.

CLA treats everyone here as an individual, listening to their goals and developing plans on how to attain them. It's a pleasure working at a company that offers its employees the same respect and hard work as they give to it."
