Our Eco Pledge

We know how lucky we are to work in such a beautiful environment. Our team often have meetings and lunches in the garden during the warmer months and see the abundance of wildlife that lives within our little brick walls. From wondering ladybirds and bumbling bees, to emerald dragon flies and fumbling hedgehogs. Outside of the walls we have 137 acres of park land home to a vast array of birds including pheasants, woodpeckers, and owls.

We are truly humbled to be looking after this little hive of wildlife in a city location, but our values and company ethics take us one step further. Beyond our boundaries there’s a whole world in need of help. So, here is our companies pledge to support our planet and place the environment at the heart of our business.
