2020 Core Values Champion

Our values are at the core of everything we do, and you’ll find them manifest across every part of our relationship with you; they guide our team, and they guide our work!

Each month, a member of staff is voted by senior management as our core values champion and they win a present.
At the end of year, the person who consistently and unreservedly exemplified each of our 4 core values throughout the year, is voted as our annual core values champion.
Winner receives 4-day flights and hotel for 2 – all expenses paid for by the company, to New York!

We are delighted to announce this year’s annual core values champion is Tom Perman!
Congratulations to Tom and very well deserved!
