How we work
We are a fully remote organisation, which means we don’t have a central office from which we all work. Instead we are dotted all over the UK working from our homes, coffee shops, co-working spaces – basically wherever helps us get our best work done. We meet up twice a year in-person as a whole team, and there are opportunities to meet together as individual teams as needs arise.
As a team we know we are far from the genuinely diverse organisation we strive to be but we are on a journey with EDI and we will not give up until we are a place where people from every background feel they can belong. You can read more about our EDI work here.
