Core Values

FRDS offers its people significant responsibility early on and puts a premium on autonomy of career direction and development. Our governing ethos is progression based on merit, not time served.

Our success is founded on a set of core values that drive the way we behave with our clients and each other. Our values underpin our purpose and guide our actions:

Passionate about people

We are proud to be part of a team of brilliant people – our firm’s most prized asset. We are passionate about supporting each other in our continued growth to fulfill our ambitions.

Inspired by client value

We are committed to creating visible and sustained value for our clients. We are proud of our clients and what they think of us; we build long lasting relationships with them, responding to and anticipating their needs.

Achieving success through shared endeavours

We work collaboratively in diverse teams, shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients. We achieve more together than we could alone.

Prizing our ethical approach

We are independent and prize our integrity and honesty. We strive to do “the right thing” rather than “the easy thing” which guides us through the responsibility of day-to-day activities, and through our most difficult challenges.

Seeking to excel

We seek to excel in everything we do. We aspire to continually enhance our learning; we are ambitious to grow our innovation and insight.

Creating commercial success

We are employee-owned and proud of what we are worth to our clients. We take personal responsibility for our commercial success, sharing and reinvesting our rewards.
