Our values

What we believe

We believe in supporting the people, communities and environments we live and work in. 

We do this by working with apprenticeship programs like six sense and QA to develop new talent, and give back to our communities through a number of programs.

We are the proud sponsors of East Kilbride Rugby and Football Club who work hard to democratise the sport by supporting women, young players, and disabilities.  

We also plant a tree for each of our customers and team members through Trees for Life. So far, we've planted 370 trees . Help revitalise Scotland's forestry by planting a tree in our grove here
