Based in the vibrant and fast developing high tech quarter centred around City Road, Hoxton and Shoreditch, we have a lively working atmosphere, easy and quick transport links, affordable housing in the coolest new developments right on the doorstep, career development opportunities for staff at all levels, and a range of attractive benefits that include eye care, generous holidays, and an excellent pension scheme.
You don’t have to be looking for a City base to work with us, though – we have a network of satellites across and beyond the capital.
