“Our clients realise that we care about doing a really good job for them”

“At first I wondered how you got involved – the answer is you just go up to someone and ask. There’s a massive trust in all your colleagues here. If you ask for something, they’ll do it, unless there’s a really good reason not to.
“You have to have an inherent sense of when you should be having fun and when you need to be working hard. It can be fun one day then you’ve all got your heads down the next. You need to be respectful of other people’s space. Most importantly, our clients realise that we care about doing a really good job for them.”
