We, as a business, recognise that how we work and how our customers want us to work is changing.

Smart/Agile working is key in this, looking at our people, our IT/Technology and our facilities to ensure we are fit for purpose, improving our customer and employee experience, reducing cost and enabling us for business readiness.
