Other great reasons to work with us
Bronze Compassionate Employer

Armed Forces Covenant

Queen's Award for Voluntary Service

We're a Living Wage employer
Paying the Living Wage means that our employees benefit from a better salary, one that allows for their day-to-day living costs as it not only covers the weekly shop but that unexpected visit to the dentist.
The real Living Wage is also higher than the government’s suggested “national living wage” as that is based on what businesses can afford, not what employees actually need to live.
