Pros
Over the past couple of years, since the new MD was appointed, Neighbourly UK has been through a period of conspicuous positive change. A number of things that had previously just been talked about are now getting done and at pace. The result is a much more professional approach to the way we work and support the franchisee networks.
Towards the end of 2020 we moved to a new HQ Office in Brackley. This provides a much nicer working environment with ample parking and better facilities than the previous office in the centre of Banbury. The company had previously talked about moving, now the senior management have invested heavily to make it happen and we have a first-class HQ to work in.
Communication has improved. Employees views are sought through surveys and employees are kept informed through formal and informal channels. US parent company also keeps us informed.
I am confident that Neighbourly UK will continue to grow and be a great place to work
Cons
Some colleagues are resistant to change
