Ampersand Associates Limited - Commercial Architecture, Surveying, Maintenance, Project Management and design

	Who we are...
			We are a friendly, informal company. We work as a team - we empathise - we try to be polite with each other - we all chip in. Phrases like "it is not my job" or "it is not my responsibility" are not in our vocabulary. Everyone in the company is encouraged to think for themselves and solutions should be presented with every problem. We have a sense of humour. We take our work very seriously but we try not to take ourselves too seriously. We are creative. Pioneering and innovating have always been a way of life. We are curious. When we see things we are unsure of we ask "what does this do, why does this have to be this way, how can I improve this?"		We cross-utilise to provide a team with hands-on diverse experience with other companies. We are business people - each member has a clear understanding of the business. Planning, cost control and budgeting are not the duty of a few but the responsibility of everyone. Good morale and motivation are critical to our performance. Good morale and motivation depend on the understanding that what we at Ampersand want is the same thing that our clients expect - quality and efficiency. The ability to 'do' is the most important aspect of our company style.
