All work before the xmas party 2023 in London SE1.
The entire team, encompassing our Manchester, London and Brighton offices, came together for a Winter Strategy Workshop where employee owners worked collaboratively to define a new company Mission Statement. This work follows our Summer Strategy Workshop where we agreed a new set of Values that we feel better reflect who we are.
It’s quite a unique opportunity to help shape the company in this way, whether you are management or recently joined the team, and is just one of many benefits of employee ownership.
There were so many contributed ideas on the day with ‘listening’ being a common theme, both in relation to our clients and to our own employee owners. Given the common importance that everyone placed on this, this theme will clearly be reflected within our new Values, Purpose and Mission Statement that we will define and publish early 2024.
As our Director of People, Joe Baggaley succintly concluded:-
‘Our approach is driven by listening. Listening to the vision of the client and the needs of the other design disciplines within the team. Once we listen we understand. We understand what the balance is between acoustic performance and cost and how to maximise that relationship. We understand which areas require high acoustic performance and areas where acoustics can take a back seat. We understand the needs of the other disciplines (Architectural/M & E/ Structural/Sustainability) and can shape and tailor our advice to compliment them.
We pride ourselves on our behaviour within a project team. This is what we feel separates us.’
