We are delighted to announce that we have achieved Gold-accredited membership as part of The 5% Club’s highly respected 2025–26 Employer Audit Scheme. This prestigious recognition celebrates our ongoing dedication to nurturing talent through “earn and learn” opportunities, which empower our people to grow, learn, and thrive.
As a proud member of The 5% Club, we join a movement of more than 1,200 forward-thinking employers who are championing inclusive, accessible, and impactful workplace learning. The rigorous Employer Audit independently validates our achievements and future ambitions, recognising our commitment to social mobility, diversity, and inclusion.
