What we look for in our people
Proactive attitude, driven, opinionated and resilience. These are the attributes that we look out for in our people.
We want our people to have a proactive attitude, taking control and making things happen rather than just adjusting to a situation and waiting for things to happen.
We want our people to be driven and to go above and beyond. To be self-motivated when things get tough.
