Who are Waterstons

We blend technology with strategy, helping to free the future potential of brilliant people and brilliant organisations. We’ve been doing it for almost three decades, forging trusted, long-term partnerships with ambitious organisations around the world. We like to think our culture is our greatest source of strength. Because by building a team and business on a shared set of values, our clients tell us they can feel the difference. They can see we all care (sometimes too much). They trust the breadth and depth of our knowledge. And they know that every piece of advice is driven by a passion for their organisation; not a profit for ours. Our clients tell us that our people are our greatest strength. And who are we to disagree? They’re smart, creative, caring and switched on. Some have been with Waterstons for decades, others have joined our journey more recently. But whatever their expertise, role or seniority, they all share the same passion for our clients, and the same belief in the transformational power of technology.

Culture overview

Everyone talks about culture nowadays... and rightly so. By building our team and business on a shared set of values, our clients tell us they can feel the difference. They can see we all care (sometimes too much). They trust the breadth and depth of our knowledge. And they know that every piece of advice is driven by a passion for their organisation; not a profit for ours. Our Values People first Our people and our clients are everything. We strive to be truly inclusive, understanding, and flexible, so that everyone has a voice and feels able to speak up. We respect and welcome people have a life beyond work, which has to be the priority, so balance is key. Collaboration We’re stronger together and we always want to work collectively to find the best solutions. We’re committed to diversity; of thought, beliefs, and backgrounds to help us push forwards as one. Empowerment Liberating our people, to make the decisions that are right for them, their team and our clients, so together they can develop, grow and reach their full potential. Innovation We harness true creativity by looking at challenges from different angles and gaining insight into other perspectives to find the best solutions. Honesty Telling the truth is fundamental. Having the courage can be hard, but we know it’s the right thing for our people and our clients, to be up front, honest and supportive. Trust Demonstrating trust is at our core. We’re not a top-down organisation and we won’t tell you what to do. We will work with you; to help you find the answers, and we’ll support our clients in this way too. Quality We will never sacrifice quality or client’s satisfaction in the interest of gain. If we get it wrong, we will fix it and we’ll ensure we learn from our mistakes.
