Really great businesses attract great people and Champion has a great team.  But what makes Champion and its team great? What are Champion’s values and are the team happy to share and embrace them?

In February 2007 I started meeting regularly with the team members across the Group to explore what makes Champion a truly great business and what values the Champion team display and believe in.

Initially working in small groups and then coming together for an afternoon’s workshop, the expectation had been to draw up a list of shared behaviours. But the results proved to be much more impressive and dynamic.

Champion’s Culture is a working tool which is used as a benchmark  for team behaviour towards one another and Champion clients. What’s more it is a tool created and developed by the team members themselves.

I would like to thank the team members who took part in this project and made it such fun and a success.

On a personal note it has given me much pleasure and immense pride to watch the development of the project, experience  the enthusiasm of the team and to see the end result.
