We love getting together
Every year we have an offsite where we celebrate our efforts over the year. We’ve been zip-lining and white water rafting and are always looking for new ideas to try out. We also take time to celebrate achievements throughout the year and are partial to the odd pub trip.
We love our hobbies
We’re not just good at our day jobs, we have an eclectic mix of other interests ranging from running, cycling, climbing and pro-wrestling to computer gaming, dice making, quilting, painting and Luchador mask making.
We love rocking the boat
At Podium we want to change the way mortgages work and we understand the need to challenge the status quo. We always encourage people to challenge and drive changes in the way we work and love to have input from everyone.
We love paying back
At Podium we support Education for the Children, a charity which has set up a school in Guatemala. Several of us have been out to experience first-hand the great work being done. We’ve had several fundraising events and always have a table or two at the annual auction ball.
We love our office
We have a great space in the centre of Nottingham overlooking Old Market Square. We’ve been able to personalise our office including a mural painted by Nottingham students.
We love working together
We know the best way to achieve great work is for smart people to work together and learn from each other. We’re always happy to talk through a problem and support everyone’s work
