"The team is great. Really supportive and you’re recognised for your achievements, no matter how big or small"
A really great bit of feedback from one of our team and the sentiment you’ll find across the business.
This is the reflection of us today at £12 million revenue & 70 awesome people, and whilst we’re immensely proud of what we have achieved in 8 years, we’re not hanging around…
The challenge we now set ourselves is ensuring we hold onto our warm & fuzzy, good feeling & positive vibes as we rapidly scale to a £50 Million business.
And thus… it’s time: Time for you!
We need an awesome Chief People Officer to fuel our people-powered journey to the stars! If you’re passionate about creating a workplace where talent thrives, culture shines, and everyone feels amazing, then buckle up-we’re about to take off. This isn’t your typical HR gig; this is your chance to build a people-first organisation that’s out of this world.
