Equality & Diversity
We actively foster a company culture characterised by inclusivity, equality of opportunity, the valuing of diversity, mutual trust, respect for personal dignity and the promotion of wellbeing across the Group. Our diverse workforce makes our team stronger and better equipped to respond to the demands of our clients and the industry. We recruit and retain the most talented people irrespective of their culture, sex, gender reassignment, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or beliefs, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, or race. Central sets itself apart from competitors through its workforce – a valued team, supported in training and development to be the very best they can be, and most importantly to be themselves.
