At Hunters, we are in the business of creating outstanding office environments, but our commitment extends beyond the physical spaces we design and furnish. It’s about crafting a workplace culture that inspires, supports, and motivates every member of our team. This year, as we build on our official “Great Place to Work®” Certification, we want to share what makes Hunters not just a leading office furniture dealership but a standout employer.

Our People-First Approach

Our philosophy is simple: treat every team member with the respect and dignity they deserve. This approach is woven into the fabric of our daily operations, from our company values of Consistency, Service and Respect to a supportive management structure that fosters open communication and mutual respect. We believe that when our team feels valued and respected, they are motivated to provide the exceptional service that Hunters is known for.

Learning Mindset

At Hunters, having a learning mindset is key. We invest in our staff’s professional development from formal training programmes to informal lunch and learns, leadership workshops, and continuous ‘on the job’ learning opportunities. This empowerment also manifests in the autonomy our team members have in their roles, encouraging them to take ownership of their projects and innovate within their remit. It’s not just about growing our business but growing our people that drive us forward.

A Culture of Recognition and Reward

Recognition is a powerful motivator, and at Hunters, we make it a priority to celebrate the achievements of our team. Whether it’s our internal promotions as we harness the potential within our team or our annual company-wide celebrations, or public acknowledgements in company updates – success, big or small, is celebrated. Our reward schemes are designed to not only thank our staff for their hard work but also to incentivise continued excellence and dedication.

Innovation and Collaboration

In the dynamic field of office furniture and design, innovation is crucial. At Hunters, we encourage a culture of creativity and collaboration, where new ideas are not just welcomed but actively sought. Regular brainstorming sessions, team collaborations, and an open-door policy with senior management ensure that everyone at Hunters can contribute to our evolving business strategy.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Hunters we recognise that diversity of thought, experience and background helps foster a successful and productive work environment. Whether it be improved innovation and problem solving, enhanced teamwork and collaboration to better understanding our customers our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace not only benefits our employees but contributes to the overall success of our business.

Community and Environmental Responsibility

As we build spaces for businesses, we also commit to building a better community and world. Our CSR initiatives focus on sustainability—from eco-friendly office solutions to waste reduction practices in our operations. We also engage in supporting local charities and environmental causes, reflecting our dedication to the broader community outside our office walls.

Looking Ahead

As we aim to grow Hunters into a £50M company within the next five years, our focus on maintaining a “Great Place to Work” is stronger than ever. This commitment not only positions us as a leader in the industry but also as a preferred employer in the competitive job market.

Achieving “Great Place to Work” certification is not just an honour; it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. It reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence, not just in the services we provide, but in the opportunities and environment we offer our team.

At Hunters, we’re not just building offices; we’re building futures, fostering well-being, and creating a workplace that truly feels like home.
