David Buttress – Inch by inch…

One of the great parts of our social culture at Just-Eat is the annual World Party.  It started last year in Dublin and this year we took the whole of the international team to Centre Parcs at Elveden Forest. Around 140 people descended on the park on Friday for paint balling, archery, laser shooting and of course to socialise and be together.   We have a very diverse work force at Just-Eat with people from all backgrounds and nationalites (although we still have only one Welsh person, we may need to start some positive discrimination soon!).  The great thing to see and feel was that even though we are growing all the time we have still been able to stay true to our key values.  Of course we are having to grow and change in terms of our organisation and business practices, yes even ‘old’ Luddites like me, but the critical point for me as a person working at Just-Eat is that the core values of hard work, fun, no nonsense and a shared purpose/goal are as strong as ever. We can now also add to those values a higher standard of professionalism and skills, it is beginning to become the company we all hoped it would be.   Thanks to all who made it happen for a fun and motivating few days.

This is the happy few just before we went off to paintball! I won’t say whos team won the paintball as nobody likes a show off but suffice to say the person was Welsh.
