“I love working for Essential because the support throughout the company is amazing. Whether it’s home life or work, there is always someone there” – Beth L.
Everyone is treated like an adult here. It’s our company,
and we look out for each other. We understand that we all have personal life outside of the office and we work together to accommodate that.
“I’ve been able to take time off to have a family and be able to return to work whilst still being able to be a mum.” – Beth W
We appreciate eachother… even for all the daft stuff!
Every year we hold an awards ceremony to celebrate our
achievements, successes, personal development… and to mock our colleagues when they deserve it!!
Live, laugh, love… right?
Here, you work for yourself.
If you work hard, your rewards get bigger. You are not lining anyone else’s pockets. Our Directors no longer take a profit share… but the staff do!
We build the company we want to work for.
