We are proud to have achieved a 3-star accreditation with Best Companies™ for a fifth consecutive year. These accreditations were awarded based on input from our team on a wide range of topics such as opportunities for progression, work environment, and the company’s values and management.

In an episode of the “The Pioneers” podcast our CEO, Sophie Costello, explores with the host our company culture and values.
