We have 6 core values that are the drivers to everything we do:

We are superfans & radiate expertise -Expert knowledge informs all our thinking and we act as enthusiastic educators to our colleagues and clients.

We are a no-ego business - Being part of the Little Dot family means individuals are empowered and ideas can come from anywhere. We are friendly, respectful and approachable. Always straight-talking and honest.

Think (smart), live (well), laugh (often) - We believe the journey is just as important as the destination. We take our work seriously but enjoy ourselves along the way. We know how important quality of life is and through focusing on this we can make the work even better.
