Burgis & Bullock Core Values Honesty - We believe that, to be truly successful in life and in business, we must always be honest and open. If we say we are going to do something, we do it. We know that sometimes an honest answer is not always what people want to hear but believe that openness and honesty make for the best relationships because it leads to trust and faith. Respect – Understanding and the capacity for empathy are essential in actively fulfilling the core value of respect. Encounters with all individuals, as well as organisations and circumstances, should be based on their unique ideas, beliefs, cultures, personal situations, resources, values, priorities and objectives. Respect requires consideration and helpfulness. We strive to be dedicated and patient in all situations. Visionary –We constantly strive to redefine the standard of excellence in everything we do. Proactive evolution starts from a willingness to make things better or do things differently. We encourage our colleagues to develop new ideas – whatever their job area – and put a strong focus on supporting cross-cultural and cross-functional exchanges. We believe that in order to stay relevant we must constantly improve with society’s changing needs and we feel that by carefully evaluating the need for and managing change we can bring colleagues and clients enthusiastically along with us. Communication – We resolve to communicate openly with a down to earth approach with both colleagues and clients. We believe that listening is central in effective communication and teamwork. We excel in translating complex regulatory jargon into easy to understand plain English. Excellence – We are a hard-working, dedicated team of professionals aiming for excellence in all that we do. We have a genuine enthusiasm for business and take time to get to know and understand our clients and what is important to them in order to provide the best possible service. We positively approach all challenges and support each other to arrive at the optimum resolution. www.burgisbullock.com Sean
