Our Culture and Values

Over the past couple of years our Dev team have developed a set of values by which we live on a daily basis - it is OUR values that WE decided on and it gives us a framework to deal with our day to day challenges and defines the culture that we subscribe to.

New members to the team are expected to subscribe to these values. These values can be summed up in the following bullet points:

• We are passionate about our work and proud of what we accomplish
• We communicate when we are frustrated and aim to have constructive discussions.
• We value our diversity and encourage an environment where people feel safe.
• We behave with integrity and positively challenge destructive behaviour

Expertise and results
