“I was the first in my family to leave the North West and I aspire for the City to recruit more people from different social-economic backgrounds”.
“Companies should recruit people based on their potential and cognitive make up and not just based on what university they went to and where they have worked”.
“When Matt and Clare approached me I believed in their vision straight away. Their approach to the industry and the ethos of The Ocean Partnership is well aligned to help the investments industry improve its reputation and achieve equality for all”.
“I joined Ocean because of the vision to help the investments sector change and because of the company’s commitment to doing things differently”.
“Inclusion starts with each individual taking responsibility for understanding what it means and taking action. Here at Ocean, we take Diversity & Inclusion as being our default position in all we do and building that critical mass that will shift the inclusion agenda further each day”.
“I am delighted to be working for a company that truly embraces the benefit mature people can bring and the value of different cultures and backgrounds”.
“Ocean operates a flat management culture which enables everyone to have a voice. We all have a business management responsibility in which we own and set the strategy for”.
“Every day I make the tea and help with admin but I also run the company”.
“Matt & Clare have believed in me since day one. Not only am I a return to work Mum, I also work flexibility which means more than just working from home. I work during pockets around the clock to complement the demands of family life. This enables me to get done more than I ever would otherwise!”
