Our Values
Our success depends on every one of us behaving consistently across all our four values.
We show recognition and praise for our fellow colleagues for living our core values by sending values cards and nominating them for a ‘living the values’ monthly award.
Wellbeing
At Armstrong Watson, we care about your mental and physical health. Just like our bodies, our minds can have ups and downs, and that’s completely normal. We want to make sure work feels like a positive place that supports you, helps reduce stress, and encourages balance.
We know life outside of work matters too, and getting that balance right is important. That’s why we’ve created a culture where it’s okay to talk about well-being and where support is always available.
Every office has a Well-being Champion, trained as a Mental Health First Aider, ready to listen and help whenever you need it.
Culture Champions
Creating the right culture and behaviours isn’t just important, it’s the foundation of our success and the key to achieving our bold ambitions. To make this a reality, we’ve brought together a diverse group of colleagues who regularly meet with our Managing Partner. Their mission? To shape an inspiring engagement calendar and identify meaningful actions that will help us deliver on our aspiration to be the best!

AAT - Level 3
"I’m currently working towards my Level 3 AAT End Point Assessment and will soon be starting my Level 4 AAT qualification. Armstrong Watson has been a great place to complete my apprenticeship. I have received lots of great training not only for my Level 3 AAT qualification, but also for developing key personal skills like communication and organisation, which has really supported my personal growth and overall development. Also, everyone at Armstrong Watson is very friendly and wants you to succeed which creates a really positive and supportive work environment.”
