have strengthened the business , ready to meet the evolving needs of clients across the US and the world . Encouraging the next generation of workers to realise their full potential , while ensuring that more experienced workers benefit from the same fresh approach , Corbins ’ status as a top employer in the industry has grown ever stronger .
Martin concludes : “ We are really committed to the success of each other and the functions and departments – there ’ s a lot of alignment in that . It ’ s hard to grow a company to more than 600 people and have all the leadership going in the same direction . That wouldn ’ t have even happened if we didn ’ t have a leadership team that was completely aligned and bought into each other with that level of trust .”
