Why us / Our culture

Our people are the beating heart of our organisation. We place a real emphasis on listening to and understanding the people who work at WR, because we realise this fosters a great and inclusive working culture that everyone can feel positively towards. 

We’re sensitive to our people’s needs and we know a work-life balance truly matters, it can make all the difference. We’ve incorporated a number of benefits to suit this, that include flexible and smart working, as well as a buy and sell holiday scheme and paid memberships. At WR we foster a culture of openness and we encourage people to come and talk to us if there’s something they’d like to see happen.

Inherent in our culture is also a desire to help people and see them flourish. We ensure our people are on a pathway for success and we work with them to map out their futures. We provide opportunities for people at all stages of their careers, from graduate schemes, to the provision of funded training (ACA/ACCA/CTA), as well as aspiring leader programmes and management development programmes. There’s a breadth of opportunities to be had and we strive to champion our people so they can excel.
