What our people are saying...
-
The company have a great history of encouraging social activites i.e team bowling, comedy nights, christmas parties which is a great way to let off steam in what is a high-pressure industry. Newer staff members have been bought in with a view of developing the company for the better and this is evident. There is increasingly more of a focus on mental health and promoting the same.

There are a lot of company events, from team bowling to charity skydiving. Team-Leaders/Lower management are excellent, their behaviour really helps breeds a positive working environment, they are more than happy to answer any questions. The steps made in recent months to update and focus on the employee's mental health and well-being is a welcome change.
