Life here’s about so much more than pay and benefits - you might get a slightly higher salary if you cram onto an expensive, crowded commuter train into the city, but you’ll struggle to find a company with the flex, agility and unique-ness that we have. In short, we’ve got you covered financially but if money is your main driver, we’re not for you. We hate waste in all of it’s forms and time is no different, so we’re focused on productivity and output rather than when or where you work, or what you wear into the office - you can come in fancy dress for all we care! This means that although we can’t promise anything, flexible working options are built into our DNA. Along with the usual stuff you get for turning up to work each day, you’ll also get a healthy staff discount on our world-class range (just in case that makes a difference). We don’t sit still, and there’s a lot more to come... Apply now if you want to join us.
