In return, you’ll get:

  • Waste shuts during the Christmas period ranging between 1 and 2 weeks with that time not being taken out of your regular holiday entitlement
  • Early-finish/late start Fridays in August & February
  • Christmas and summer parties you'll want to post about
  • Regular team outings and social events
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Birthdays off

  • A shiny new office, with a gaming area, plus regular events
