Career Development

Anyone who thinks talent alone is enough to secure success is making a mistake. Spotting opportunities, working hard, honing skills on the job and, yes, a little luck also have their part to play. In addition, so does more formal development, which is why we are investing in a new, expanded programme of learning and development activity for 2010.

We are ambitious for our business, our titles, our customers and our people. We know that it can be hard work to stay ahead of the game so this programme is designed to really make a difference. We actively encourage our people to boost their skills and deepen their knowledge.
