Company Guidelines

We nurture an open, honest and trusting company culture where our place of work, each other and our business should be respected. We want to ensure that everyone has the freedom to feel safe and relaxed in their working environment so there are a few rules that we ask everyone to be aware of.

Personal conduct

You must not drink alcohol, except during recognised social activities, or gamble on company premises.

We recommend that lunch is eaten away from your work station and we encourage employees to take the full lunch break.

Respect for colleagues is paramount and is consistently encouraged throughout the business. Any bullying or disrespectful taunting will be not be tolerated.

Personal property

The company will not accept responsibility for loss of, or damage to your property whilst it is on company premises. However, if you lose or find any article please notify a Company Director without delay.

Internet and Social Media

IT and Communication plays an essential role in the conduct of our business and personal social interaction. We encourage employees to respectfully, responsibly and positively use Email, Internet and Social Media, at all times considering the content, protecting both personal and businessreputation.

In order to protect our business data and email accounts, we ask that passwords be kept confidential and secure and that they are changed on at least an annual basis.

Please see our Email, Internet and Social Media Use Policy for moreinformation.

Visitors and telephone calls

We work in a social environment and enjoy visits and calls from friends and family but we ask that you be aware of your colleagues working around you. We request that you don’t make an excessive amount of personal calls during the working day and should you have friends or family visiting the office, it’s appreciated that you check that this will not disrupt the team.

Outside interests

Should you wish to take on part-time employment outside working hours, you should first discuss the matter with a Company Director. Under no circumstances should you undertake any other business or work during working hours or using the company’s premises or equipment without the prior agreement of a Company Director.

Sale of goods

Sale of goods on company premises is not permitted, although you may advertise goods for sale to colleagues.

Collections & personal deliveries

If you wish to carry out collections for charities, for employees, or for outside organisations within your working day, you must get approval from a Company Director.

We are happy for you to accept personal deliveries, within reason, and if you are not at work we shall sign for the goods on your behalf.
