We’re proud to share that Curtins, and specifically our CEO and Cultural Director, have been the invited guests on the latest Leading with Purpose podcast, hosted by The Purpose Coalition.

The Leading With Purpose series explores how business leaders are working to break down barriers to opportunity and level up the UK. Neil Parkinson, Curtins’ CEO and Rhiannon Carss, Engagement and Culture Director, sat down with RT Hon. Justine Greening to reflect on how our grassroots start-up in Liverpool have shaped who we are today – a purpose driven and 100% employee-owned business.

Culture, Values and being an Employee-Owned Trust

The conversation dives deep into our culture, values employee ownership and initiatives to improve inclusivity, provide opportunity and close the skills gap. Building on our collaboration with the Purpose Coalition, we explored the important themes of:

  • Social mobility

  • Inclusivity in the workplace and beyond

  • Community impact through engineering and education
