Proud of our inclusive culture

We care – about each other, our customers, our performance and our culture. Our simple charter “The PINS way” sets out not what we do, but how we do things.

We want you to feel comfortable and empowered to thrive while being yourself at work.

Colleagues shape our organisation through our People Survey, temperature checks, and all staff sessions.

Our ‘Wonderwall’ offers colleagues the chance to celebrate each other.
