Four key elements that drive our culture

We aim to treat everyone with fairness, dignity and respect. We expect our clients, referrers and suppliers to show the same courtesy to every member of the firm they come into contact with. We will not tolerate any form of abuse to our employees and reserve the right to terminate a working relationship if we believe our employees are at risk of harm.

Commitment is the key to our relationships with our clients and with one another. Four values lie at the heart of Thomson Snell & Passmore. They are absolutes: key elements that drive our culture.
Building relationships
Building strong relationships underpins all that we do. Our inclusive culture means we treat everyone with integrity and respect, listening carefully and responding quickly and intelligently. We deliver a client service that is second to none and support our colleagues in their work.
Astute thinking
We listen and question until we completely understand clients’ and colleagues’ needs and objectives. We draw on our extensive experience to bring practical insight and common sense to each situation. We work across teams and departments, sharing knowledge and expertise to provide the very best service to our clients.
Direct approach
We communicate clearly with our clients and with one another. Our straightforward communication style means people receive information and advice in a way that they understand.
Achieving results
Commitment and passion characterise our people; that’s why we find solutions that give our clients the best possible value and outcome. We choose talented and motivated people with the necessary skills and experience and focus on constant development and learning. A stimulating workplace, a healthy work-life balance and a rewarding career for everyone is the heart of our offering.
