Crafting capital takes many hands
#OneMercia is a collective that we have defined together. Mercia’s culture of cooperation is shaped by our values that support our every decision, underpins each deal and helps to build the businesses that we invest in.
Our togetherness is reflected in the strong relationships that we develop both internally and externally, in the way we strive to share continual improvements and development through knowledge sharing, growth initiatives and outreach programmes, and the care we offer to our colleagues, customers and communities.
Mercia Spirit
Empowering people within business to act for the causes that matter to them, combined with the ‘can-do’ attitude that exists among colleagues, is why we embrace Mercia Spirit.
Monies raised as a result of half-marathons run, mountains climbed, hikes mistakenly taken, quizzes hotly contested, horse races with dubious spread bets and the expert craftmanship of one colleague who made a range of carved and handcrafted wooden items all support Cancer Research UK.
The Skills Builder Partnership was another important initiative that colleagues were keen to support, designed to help students build key skills and get better prepared to enter the workplace.
Collaborating for sustained growth
O2 is a working group of engaged colleagues that supports improved business processes and offers a broader range of insights to Mercia’s senior leadership team.
Critical to the sustained success of Mercia, this group offers the benefits of its diverse opinions, ideas and points of views that might sometimes be lost in a more hierarchically business.
