• Doing things differently - we're all about doing things differently, challenging the way it has always been done, and developing the way it should be done.
• Entrepreneurial culture - an approach supported and encouraged from the very top, that enables us to continually explore opportunities to improve.
• Grow our own strategy (GOO) - is a talent initiative that addresses the way we hire, develop, and promote colleagues by looking beyond the traditional talent sources on which we've relied. This important strategy starts by investing in Apprentices , Graduates and early careers.
