Beyond Albatross

Whilst we all work really hard on behalf of all of our stakeholders, we also firmly believe that it is important for Albatross to get involved within its local communities in a way that everyone can be proud of.

As a result of this philosophy, in 2009 we set up the Claire Foster Fund to raise money for a wide range of good local causes, as nominated by our employees, and we still retain close links with Claire’s parents.

In addition to these initiatives, we support our staff in their own fundraising and other local community activities whilst also working with them to facilitate travelling sabbaticals and other relevant interests that they have.

We particularly encourage our directors and senior managers to get involved in other activities beyond Albatross in order that they can both broaden their own experience whilst also contributing to the communities or areas of society that they are particularly interested in.

Our Finance Director, Adam Handy, also devotes a significant proportion of his free time to leading Larkfield Football Club as their Chairman. Larkfield FC is based down the road from our Head Office and operates over 20 teams ranging in age from 5 years old to adult, working with over 300 local children.

We understand that there is more to life than work and so do what we can to understand the lives of our people beyond their working day in order that we can assist and encourage them to get that balance right.
