Our Culture of Support and Flexibility

Our offices provide both open-plan and private office space which fosters a collaborative and relaxed atmosphere, whilst allowing quiet space for those times its needed.

A hybrid and flexible working environment with the option for stand-up or seated desks, moveable equipment and most importantly an open door, open ears policy always.

We understand that flexibility is key to a healthy work-life balance. We tailor our team members’ schedules to suit their personal needs, offering hybrid working and flexible hours wherever possible. We recognise that our employees work not just for their careers, but to create fulfilling lives for their families and this is why we accommodate time off for important family events -because some moments shouldn’t be missed.

Investing in Your Wellbeing

Our employee wellbeing package includes a comprehensive death-in-service benefit, access to a 24/7 GP service, mental health and bereavement support, and discounts at leading UK retailers. Many of these rewards are tied to wellness initiatives, such as steps walked, meditation minutes completed, and workouts logged. We even have an office leaderboard that encourages friendly competition -solving the daily Sudoku in record time is always a hot topic!

We keep that personal touch within our culture and show our appreciation in traditional ways, with thoughtful gifts at Christmas and Easter. Our annual leave policy rewards loyalty, with increased holiday entitlement based on length of service. We also offer a generous office closure over the Christmas break and an extra day off to celebrate birthdays.

Over the past year, we invited a biochemist and personal trainer to lead seminars on sleep, stress, nutrition, and exercise. These sessions were incredibly well received, providing our staff with practical advice and inspiration to lead healthier lifestyles. The enthusiastic response was a testament to their impact.

Sitting for long periods can take its toll and to help keep our bodies and minds agile we host a weekly in-house Pilates session, open to all staff both in-person and via Zoom for remote workers, the sessions are recorded and made available to all staff. These sessions offer a great midweek reset, leaving our team feeling more relaxed and energised.

We have implemented a long-term commitment to supporting the mental health of our staff. This includes ongoing access to mental health resources, regular check-ins, and fostering an open dialogue about mental health. Our proactive approach ensures that our team members feel comfortable seeking support whenever they need it.

Your Career and Our Community

Looking ahead, we're excited to launch a volunteering initiative, giving employees the chance to take paid days off to contribute to local causes. This not only supports our community but also aligns with our belief in nurturing mental wellbeing and giving back. We are a firm believer in supporting the communities in which we operate, both charitable and non charitable works, seeding out into others is a principle of growth which we adopt as one of our values.

We believe that when we look after our team, they in turn take great care of our clients -and that virtuous circle has proven to be a recipe for success. Our holistic approach to wellbeing ensures that our staff feel valued, supported, and motivated, creating a positive and productive work environment.
