Vision

Sustainable growth

Our people, engineering the future, building a legacy.

Our vision is embedded in our business – in our culture, values and behaviours. By clearly articulating this vision, we achieve a greater shared focus and enable every role to see how their day-to-day work aligns with our overall aims and drives our success.

A message from our CEO

We have the most fabulous people working in our business and our success is a testament to the commitment and loyalty that they have shown to our company over the years. We put a huge emphasis on the training and development of our people and the opening of our Training Academy in 2016 has allowed us to provide further support to our apprentices, tradespeople and engineers.

Our goal is to be the partner of choice for our clients and whatever the service, our approach is always personal. We want our clients to feel secure and confident in the knowledge that we are dedicated to working with them to meet their goals, with the highest standards in health, safety and quality of finish. We are committed to conducting our work in a way that is respectful to the environment. We expect nothing less from ourselves and our clients should not either.

As we continue our growth, we are as committed as ever to expanding the capabilities of Designer Group and I want to thank everyone who has helped to contribute to our success.

Mission

Delivering ambitious, innovative and sustainable engineering solutions, building client and community partnerships that bear testament to the gold standards and values we uphold.

Leadership

Our non-hierarchical approach means our leaders work in partnership with all our stakeholders, driving business change.

This approach ensures effective use of strategic competencies and influence to accomplish organisational goals whilst providing our people with motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration.

Values

Our company values not only shape the identity of our organisation, but they also guide and inspire all our people. We put our people at the very centre of our business, and we take interest in and embrace each other’s individuality.

Our values are who we are, what we stand for, and how we behave.

Safe

We structure our work environment, so that every person feels safe, enabled to create their best work and achieve their maximum potential. We work smartly, take care of our team, and have fun in order to ensure the sustainability and success of our business and the wellbeing of our people.

Trust

We believe the trust we place in our people will lift us all higher than we could rise alone. We operate and communicate with transparency and it is this authenticity that makes our work more meaningful, interesting and builds a better company. We stay true to who we are, stand up for what we believe in, and are always mindful of others.

Respect

Inclusion and respect are a defining part of our identity. We value the talent, time and contribution of everyone we work with. Our differences – when embraced – drive smarter decisions, stronger performance, increased innovation and a culture where everyone can be themselves.
