Wellbeing and balance is a growing theme each year for the business, and with our impending relocation to a brand new office in Glasgow in the second half of 2022, the company has been able to fast track what for years have just been items on an agenda for most firms. You can look forward to a healthy workspace, a real work-life balance and a set of self-set rules ('teamship') which have been endorsed at all levels in the firm to ensure that these are realities and not just concepts.
