Diversity and Inclusion

We’re led by a BAME, female CEO and building a diverse and inclusive team is incredibly important to us which is why we are building diversity and inclusion into the company hiring, performance and progression framework.

If you have an additional accessibility or other requirement we haven’t considered, we will do our best to adapt and make sure your needs are met.
