Our Culture

This business is different – it’s not just the bags, or our eye-catching yellow fleet that stands out. We have an exceptional team, and are always looking for people who embody the same values:

Collaborative

Our people work across a wide range of disciplines, but are committed to common goals and to working together, both internally and in partnership with our customers. So whether we’re advising our customers on waste management, driving a lorry, or making our IT systems work better, we’re always working to provide a service that we can all be proud of.

Entrepreneurial

Every day we’re working to create the future for this Company, and our people embrace and drive change in order to do so. We know where we are going, but we’re not afraid to take a new road to get there.

Accountable

Ownership is vital in an environment where real responsibility is given to individuals to make a difference to the Company. In a small team, great performance is noticeable, and everyone has a chance to shine.

Professional and ethical

We value high standards, both internally and in how we deliver our service to customers. This means working with integrity and striving to be exceptional within our industry. It also means ensuring that our people work in a welcoming environment of fairness, trust and respect.

Commercial

We’re striving to grow and develop this business together, to make it commercially successful for the sake of all stakeholders. Seeing the wider picture, and living the values above, makes this possible – and makes being in the Hippo team something rather special.
