Our Priorities

To create a culture of inclusion, diversity and equity, to keep our people safe, develop their potential, create opportunities and give back to the community, we have six key priorities – diversity and inclusion, health and safety, wellbeing and engagement, communities and giving back and learning, development and early careers.

Diversity and Inclusion

It is important to us that we build a culture of inclusion, where differences are welcomed, celebrated and appreciated to positively impact our people, our businesses and the communities in which we operate. We will embrace and involve all people irrespective of race, gender, ability, experiences or need.

We will be a diverse and inclusive employer by:

Creating more opportunities for women at a senior level

Providing equal reward for equal work

Widening the ethnic diversity across our businesses

Health and Safety

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all of our people. Due to the varying nature of the sites we operate from, it is our focus to ensure that safety becomes a way of life. We believe that good health and safety practices start with awareness and training and therefore, it is our aim to be industry-leading in developing new approaches to health and safety.

We will ensure high standards of health and safety by:

Training our leaders and managers in health and safety best practices

Giving all employees regular safety training

Creating a 'speak up' health and safety culture amongst teams

Wellbeing and Engagement

Supporting the wellbeing of all of our people is how we can help them feel happy at work and reach their full potential. We recognise that both new and existing recruits expect more from an employer and so we are committed to developing a Group-wide wellbeing programme, whilst aiming for 'excellent' level of staff engagement.

We will become an employer of choice by:

Developing a network of mental health first aiders across our businesses

Developing and launching a wellbeing programme

Engaging regularly with and listening to our people

Communities and Giving Back

The nature of our businesses means we have offices, showrooms and depots all across the UK and work with many diverse communities both here and abroad. Our teams have always supported charity initiatives, however, to try and deliver real social impact, we are focused on building a strategy of community engagement.

We will support and give back to communities by:

Aligning our Foundation Trust with our ESG strategy

Running an employee match pot through the Foundation Trust

Encouraging employee action such as monthly food bank collections

Learning, Development and Early Careers

We recognise that investing in building skills for the future will support our drive towards a culture of high performance. We know that people value opportunities for learning and development, both professionally and personally, and therefore believe in investing in our people's careers, which in turns provides investment in long-term business success.

We will invest in the learning, development and careers of our people by:

Launching a sales training course to help people achieve sales qualifications

Implementing a learning, development and talent succession plan

Creating opportunities for people in local communities
