We must earn our reputation and the confidence of our customers through achieving excellence in all areas. Trust, transparency, and fairness are the cornerstones of our business.
It is not what somebody does, but how that task is carried out that really makes a difference to how our customers and staff evaluate our performance.
We support and develop our staff, and aim to be a positive influence on the communities we operate in.
Our values demonstrate the beliefs that underpin the way we work. They reflect both the company we are and our aspirations for the future:
Teamwork
Working with others as a team to meet our goals. We will work together with and for our customers, to the best of our ability. We will all play our part, take pride in our work, and strive for excellence. We will value and appreciate the role of others, and will ensure that we support, motivate and develop each other.
Respect
Show respect for and value all individuals for their diverse backgrounds, experiences, styles, approaches and ideas. We will treat everyone with dignity and respect, ensuring that we treat others as we would expect our-selves or our families to be treated. We will listen to others and value their contribution.
Integrity
Dealing with people and issues directly and openly. We will be honest, respectful and trustworthy in our interactions with people. We will communicate to all stakeholders transparently, honestly and ethically. We will value differences and treat everyone fairly and consistently.
Commitment
To innovation and excellence. We will continually seek to improve the way we work and deliver a high standard of service and customer care. We will be open to thinking differently and looking for new and innovative ways of working.
