Cultured Walls!Choosing our favourite quotes on company culture for the walls of our new London office

Our new office in London, UK opens on 4th July and we wanted some great quotes on Company Culture to inspire us as we work.

Our friends at Brightspot Strategy are helping us to make sure the new office is a great place to work. They taught us how much we need to involve our people in the design of the workplace.

So we held an all-staff vote to help us choose which quotes we would use.

Here are the results

When we open on 4th July 2016 they’ll look a bit like this….
