If you fancy a walk or a bite to eat at lunch off-site, you won’t be short of choices. In return for all your excellent work, we’ll provide you with a double-matching pension scheme and a holiday allowance that increases with length of service, which means that the longer you stay, the more you gain As a further thank you, we will give you access to a wide range of shopping and entertainment discounts.
