These three themes make up our people promise:Freedom to be, Big on what matters, Empowering you


Our Winning Behaviours


Our people promise is underpinned by a set of behaviours, which all our colleagues understand and celebrate. This is how we create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Move at pace and take a risk (mistakes are okay to make and learn from)

Go the extra mile for customers and do everything we can to give them what they want

Take the initiative and try new things

We ask and listen

We’re honest with ourselves and each other

We own up to mistakes and share learnings

Be at your best

Make every day like it’s your first day in the business

Strive to be your best every day

Always strive to improve

Learn every day

Authentic

Don’t be anything but you

Be real and honest
