We believe that everyone should benefit from the success (they help to drive) in our company - as such we run a profit share scheme. We also have regular work days out, and monthly "family lunches" (lunches paid for by the company) among other perks.

We are constantly looking to improve and evolve as a company, and have recently implemented 5s methodology across the company to improve the working environment for all.
