· Customers will see you as the Swan on the surface, not the frantic legs beneath the water.
· You will be comfortable working to a set of non-negotiable Values where the Customer’s needs are absolute.
· You will appreciate working in a strong team environment where you are supported, developed and valued.
· We use IT stuff and would expect you to be able to as well.

· Benefits – All the standard stuff plus a few bits more that we can talk about.
· Development – What do you need? 80% of our colleagues are currently engaged in some form of career development programme, funded by the company.
· Opportunity – This is kind of up to you in this role, no? We will be what you help to make us – is that enough of a promise for you?
