Employees
The directors recognise that the Group’s employees are key to the business and its success. What makes us different is our approach to relationships, which extends past the expected customer focus. Staff retention is a testament to this and the Group’s culture. Employee welfare and wellbeing is of utmost importance, and they ensure all employees work in a safe and healthy environment. The directors regularly engage with employees through internal communication methods.
