What defines us

We try and choose good people that enhance our culture and approach to clients, and invest in their development.

We do fascinating and challenging work, at the nexus of the Capital markets, business and the media.

This drives the pace of our work and we are lucky in that we tend to work with clients who both seek advice and appreciate the service that we provide - they are also good at forgiving our mishaps too.

We have a strong internal management team that is designed to ensure that we operate with fairness and transparency. We believe in performance and development going hand in hand and expect our colleagues to live by our values.

We are ambitious and successful and that helps underpin our culture. We have a clear mission and purpose and the firm is dedicated to achieving our goals with determination, application, energy and occasionally a little bit of magic.

What inspires us

Our team members are at the heart of our business and we are passionate about providing a working environment that is inspirational at every level for each member of our team – we are committed to taking care of each person in the firm on an individual as well as a group level. In addition to the usual benefits of 10% non-contributory pension, 25 holidays, corporate gym membership, flexible working and more we strive to be industry leading. Of particular importance to us is the physical and mental wellbeing of our team and in this regard we strive for best practice in our benefits. One benefit that we provide is an in-house chef as we believe “a family that eats together stays together”. We offer the breakfast and lunch (for free) which is cooked onsite by our professional chef, encouraging everyone at the firm to sit together and socialize. The food is nutritious to enhance physical and mental wellbeing. In line with our wellbeing agenda we also offer a suite other initiatives such as an in-house therapeutic resource that all team members can access on a confidential basis. We also offer a suite of Wellbeing and Mindfulness workshops looking after each team member’s personal mental health.

Action highlights

Our exceptional workplace culture has been created through careful design through a plan referred to as the culture blueprint – this is our north star! The HR team, along with the senior team are proud to lead and bring to life our core values that underpin the culture blue print. We have created an environment whereby people are empowered to be entrepreneurs and that enable people to flourish and thrive through various policies and practices. We use our core values to ensure all activities and initiatives related to hiring, promoting, development and reward are aligned. We have made it our priority to ensure that there is always an open opportunity whereby any team member can challenge one another if our values are being compromised, be it in an internal or client facing context.

We have put in place initiatives that focus on the individual and what they need to succeed – one plan does not fit all and our approach to each team member is unique and tailored. This measure ensures that every single person in the team has their own path that is unique to them.

Part of our measures focus on work life balance. We appreciate that we sometimes ask a lot of our team but we recognize this and ensure that the balance is right. We are enthusiastic about creating a culture that promotes a flexible approach to work that fits around our team - family is important to us as it is to our team members.
