As a family-centric company, it's the people who matter to us most.
From our first day in business, we have made an effort to invest time and resources in the people we hire. Consequently, we now employ some of the most passionate, dedicated and experienced people in the industry.
Our Directors and Senior Managers are involved in the day-to-day running of the business and have an open-door policy. We aim to operate in a transparent, open way and we value communication at all levels.
We have built our company on our technical ability so we are serious about innovation and achieving excellence. Yet it is not all about work. We hold regular social club events, annual birthday and Christmas parties, and actively encourage staff to participate in the life of the company.
