Our philosophy
100% Employee-owned
As a 100% employee-owned business, partnership runs through all that we do. Everyone has a say, and solutions are found together. The main benefit for you, alongside our inclusive culture, is that we’re able to attract and retain the best talent, which we like to think is reflected in our amazing client portfolio.
Social Responsibility
We believe that positively impacting society is just as important as our quality workmanship. We support a wide range of community and charitable organisations, either through sponsorship, donations or fundraising including:
- Kids Inspire
- Lord’s Taverners
- Chelmsford City Football Club
- Marie Curie
- Save the Children UK
- and many more.
