British Business Bank – shared values

values graphic

British Business Bank Group has five shared values. These pillars support and shape our brand, and core essence of ‘Enabling’.

Our colleague forum developed these values from the views and input of colleagues across the organisation, based on a ‘bottom up’ approach. They are a foundation for everything we are and stand for as a business, and will positively shape our corporate culture as we grow.

The forum meets every other month, with representatives from both offices and teams across the business. They are a voice for and a platform to present, discuss and share good practice on key issues that affect all employees and the way we operate.

Our colleague forum also plays an important role in supporting better communication across the entire organisation.
