It’s been a challenging year for all businesses, but we are really proud that throughout the pandemic, we’ve been able to retain our unique culture and prioritise our people’s happiness and wellbeing. We don't see these efforts as a "job done, box ticked" thing, we see it as one of many steps in our journey to continuously improve our company while staying true to our cultural principles.
