We believe that supporting and engaging with our people, whether they be our team members, our business associates, and indeed our clients, should be at the heart of what we do.
The essence of our company culture is to ensure that everyone feels valued. We have high expectations so that we can be a firm full of happy and fulfilled people who produce a high standard of work and maintain an exceptional client service.
We have created a set of core values and behaviours which every member of our team follows, from our newest team members to our most experienced employees, to ensure our culture remains positive and professional and our employees can flourish in their careers.
These values are used throughout everyone’s journey with Thornton Jones. From interviews through to inductions, from team meetings to our one-to-ones, and in our daily lives. This helps us to ensure that our true values-based culture can thrive.
We all take responsibility for celebrating behaviours that demonstrate our core values and we call out behaviours when they do not meet our values, but we also shout out loud and celebrate when our team excel. By doing this we can collectively ensure that our culture can grow and thrive as our business grows and thrives.
What Are Our Values?
