Five Values That Underpin Everything We Do. Be Brave. - Take chances and try new things. Growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, and nothing can substitute genuine new experiences.. Take Ownership. - Be a pro. Act like a champion and own your domain — not almost, but fully. All the way, all the time.. Team First. - Talent wins games, but teamwork wins championships. Respect and support your team. Treat colleagues fairly, build friendships, and share ideas candidly. We achieve our mission together.. Craft Everything. - Every detail matters. Quality comes from care, skill, and the constant pursuit of something better than “good enough.”. Passion Over Apathy. - One person with passion outshines forty who are merely interested. Passion turns challenge into progress. Bring energy, even when it’s hard, and use it to inspire and lift others.. Company Location: United Kingdom.
