OUR HQ
All of our services are provided from our office in Leamington Spa. Having a single UK office is a conscious business decision as we believe it benefits (and will continue to benefit) our clients for the following reasons:
• Having employees based in one location increases efficiency, improves quality control, and provides faster turnarounds than competitors with multiple locations.
• It builds closer, more effective teams.
• Having our IT team on-site means that we can quickly deploy our in-house skills to develop new products and services in response to client demands.
• It provides the optimal support network to our clientcentric approach.
• Allows us to be competitive with our fees – we provide a partner-led, City-experienced service at regional rates.
• Planet Mark: Wright Hassall is a Planet Mark accredited business, a sustainability certification and net zero provider for organisations and the built environment. Planet Mark support organisations to radically reduce carbon emissions, create operational efficiencies and work towards the global transition to net zero.
• Charitable Trust: We actively support staff involvement in the community through volunteering, as well as sponsoring community activities. We have created the Wright Hassall Charitable Trust; the aim of which is to support charities operating principally within the local area or where a member of our staff is closely involved. We hold fundraising events throughout the year to support the Trust.
• Young People First: Our charitable focus will be on supporting Young People First, a charity local to us that supports vulnerable young people across our locality.
• Volunteering days: Employees are given a day a year when they can volunteer with local charities. Not only is this initiative of immediate benefit to the charities and organisations involved, but we also recognise it is a valuable source of support and new friendships for our staff.
• Pro-bono legal work: We donate our services pro-bono, including recently negotiating leases for new premises for both the Warwick and Stratford foodbanks.
ESG
