We help you to own and grow your potential so you can be at your best in your current role and to support your future career aspirations. For all full-time roles we work a 35-hour working week to promote a work/life balance, we want you to be at your best inside and outside of work.

We’re passionate about giving back to the communities in which we serve as well as supporting local charities as part of the Samuel Fox Foundation. One of the many ways you can get involved is to use the 2 days per year paid leave to volunteer for causes or charities that are important to you.
