So, what’s it like to work here?

Well, we keep finding nerf gun bullets in the most random of places around the office and our office gadget collection is growing, so we like to have fun, but we also work very hard – there is a poster on the office wall which is a Churchill quote: ‘Sometimes it’s not enough to do our best, we must do what’s required’ and that sums up our work ethic.

We are a small team who work hard to help our clients and each other to deliver exceptional service, we’ve even won awards for it. We’re ambitious and looking for the right people to bring on the journey with us in our next steps.

Although we can work anywhere in the world, we do want someone who will be able to be in the office as company culture, learning and the office atmosphere is important to all of us. We generally work an 08:30 to 17:30 day.

We are not against remote working, but it certainly wouldn't be fully remote because nerf bullets don’t travel so well down web cams, and the team we have is really friendly, which allows us to have that cheeky Nandos, office vibe, and the good coffee that is missing at home.
