The roots of our culture come from our longevity as a family run business, and we prioritize keeping this sense of family and to remember our roots as we grow.
It is an honest environment where people can be themselves. We avoid corporate jargon, our dress code is relaxed, and people take the time to talk to each other in the corridors, the canteen and before and after meetings. Flexible working is encouraged and we trust our people to do a good job no matter where they are working from
We have a good sense of humor here and we see work as a place to build friendships and have fun in addition to doing work of value. Our people take their roles seriously and know that many people rely on the services we provide. We have a large product range and employees are given the opportunity to talk about the products they work with and the impact they have on people and our wider communities. This instills a strong sense of pride in all of us.
We have an open-door policy, and our CEO is always available to people. No one is afraid to knock on his door and two-way communication is actively encouraged. ‘Let’s sit down and talk about it’ is a common phrase we use.
We have many people with over 20 years’ experience with us and this culture of loyalty and dedication is nurtured through an understanding and compassionate management style, supported by employee centric policies.
Our unique culture leads to informal discussions in all settings, be that dropping into each other’s offices or workspaces or conversations in the canteen.
In short, it’s a great place to work.
