Our Values.

We are a family
Just like any other family, we laugh, cry, celebrate and commiserate together. We may come from many different backgrounds, but we're always there when it really matters. Whether it's with practical help and support, or simply a mug of tea and a shoulderto cry on.

Sharing makes us stronger
Knowledge is more powerful when its shared. Which is why we share everything - our ideas, our expertise, our news and most-of-all our time. Show humility. Share and work together, and anything is possible.

Own your space
You are Atlas. Don't be afraid to make decisions. Use your time wisely and treat every pound as if it was coming from your own pocket.

Be honest. Always.
Have the courage to do the right thing, even when no-one is watching.

Whether it's owning up to a mistake, having a difficult conversation, or simply arguing a point you feel passionate about.

Be yourself. Authenticity breeds trust. Trust brings happiness.

Treat clients like our best friends

We take the time to listen to what's going on in our clients lives and pull out all thestops to make them feel happy.

Start with Wow
And never settle for less. Create time to focus on quality and prioritise long-term solutions over short-term fixes. Constantly seek opportunities to learn from others, and if something doesn't make sense, shout. Always ask yourself if there is more we cando to bring happiness to those around us.

Don't just talk. Do.
We are a business that thrives on doing. The more we do, the more we succeed. Embrace change. Keep it simple. Keep meetings short. Plan just enough to succeed. And then get on with it.
