When we say \u2018team\u2019 we mean our customers, too. Like us, they are risk-takers, everyday entrepreneurs who believe in making a difference. They, too, contribute to our culture.<\/p>
When they flourish, we celebrate. When our customers invest in more jobs, sponsor the local sports club, export for the first time or invest in new facilities, it makes us happy.<\/p>
It\u2019s especially rewarding when we see our work help businesses survive shock events like the pandemic and the cost of living crisis \u2013 we find them the finance they need, when they need it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Swoop is proud to be signatory to the charter.<\/p> As of the 1st April 2021, Swoop has over 44% female representation in senior management. Our target is to reach 50% by the end of 2022. Whilst Swoop is proud to already sit at over 44%, we believe that 50% should be the ambition for all organisations.<\/p> Swoop has growth plans over the next 18 months and we are committed that retaining and increasing diversity (inc. gender) at senior management level is one factor which is a key to success.<\/p> Swoop will continue to bake-in inclusivity to our organisation so that we continue to attract, and retain, a talented workforce. Direct interventions include a member of the senior management team having responsibility for D&I oversight, requirement for gender and name blind applications and the linking of diversity targets to senior management bonuses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n
