What makes us different
Our culture
In work, as with our products, we like to take a refreshingly different approach to things. At the heart of everything is a rich family heritage, an unrelenting ambition to keep innovating, and a true pride in who we are.
Of course, we’re a professional organisation. But you wouldn’t describe us as ‘corporate’. We’re fairly informal and like to find the fun in things.
Our valued behaviours
We’re always driven by doing the right thing — by our employees, our customers, our suppliers, and our investors. So our people helped create these value behaviours as a reminder to ourselves, and signpost to the world who we are and what we stand for.
We’re all here to roll up our sleeves and make life taste better.
We focus on what actually drives the business forward. We collaborate with pace and purpose – striving to grow and evolve.
We’re all about supporting each other to get things done. It’s how we keep momentum high without losing our spark.
We don’t go flat!
The energy, warmth and care we bring to each other every day. The human experience we create in every interaction.
We all share responsibility for ensuring people feel included, respected and able to belong.
We bring that special fizz – showing up in a way that lifts others and makes Nichols a place people want to be.
This a business built on people who stand by their word.
We make time to understand, we make the right decisions, make good our mistakes – and we make our roles our own.
We focus on what matters, cut through noise, and deliver. We know what needs doing and we’re trusted to get it done.
We say what needs saying – and we fix it.
Because ‘nice’ without honesty and communication doesn’t help anyone.
We are direct, honest, and solution-focused…
We always find a better way to work and understand each other.
Building a Happier Future for our people & partners
We are working to create a happier future for our people and our partners.
While our people tell us Nichols is a great place to work, we know we can do more. We are committed to being an inclusive employer and are learning what this means every day.
We are striving to ensure we are building more diverse teams, not simply because it is the right thing to do, but because we know diversity is key to our continued success. We are at our best when we bring together our different life experiences, ways of thinking and individuality.
