Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Glad to hear you enjoy working with your peers. We do review our salary offering on a yearly basis and not all organisations do, we try to align ourselves within the built environment industry; we do value your feedback and this has been passed onto our reward team. Kind regards, Charlotte Global Digital Lead
