Our GROW values
Our GROW values are the four values that every Summize team member embodies in everything they do. They represent how we all show up and how we strive as one winning team.
Why GROW is Us?
Tom Dunlop
CEO and Founder
“GROW is the foundation of our culture. When each of us lives by these values, we don't just grow as a business we grow as people.”
Our values in action
Growth mindset
Our Growth Mindset value is all about proactively seeking out opportunities for continuous improvement in everything we do. We acknowledge the potential of marginal gains by reviewing and refining our ways of working.
Growth mindset fund
A large fund for personal development, training courses, industry conferences and seminars to help grow each employee's knowledge.
1% improvement
The chance of winning £1000/$1250 each quarter by implementing a 1% business improvement!
Respect Others
We believe that respecting diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and ideas is the foundation of innovation. We listen actively, communicate openly, and create a safe space where everyone feels valued and heard.
Your GROW moment
We encourage people to ask for a ‘GROW’ moment as a chance to deliver feedback related to values or behaviors in a safe space.
Community, wellbeing and DEI teams
Employee-led groups delivering and promoting several initiatives related to diversity and inclusion.
One team
We win together. We break down silos, share knowledge freely, and support each other across departments. When one of us succeeds, we all celebrate — because our success is collective.
One team channel
An active and encouraging channel where we support celebrating the success of colleagues across all offices and departments.
One team Fridays
Bi-weekly roundups for the chance to get together as a whole team, treat ourselves and celebrate togetherness in a relaxed and fun way.
Will to win
We are ambitious, resilient, and driven. We set high standards, celebrate progress, and learn from setbacks. Our will to win fuels our innovation and keeps us focused on delivering exceptional value.
GROW awards
Quarterly GROW awards that celebrate employees who embody and win against each value.
Performance recognition
Regular shout-outs and rewards (such as a quarterly team lunch) for exceeding your goals and demonstrating our values.
Celebrating last quarter's GROW winners
Every quarter, we recognize four colleagues who truly embody our GROW values. Their impact goes beyond targets, it shapes how we work, lead, and support each other.
Oliver Welch
Staff Software Engineer
“Oliver has driven major improvements to the Summize application, ultimately boosting customer adoption and satisfaction. He listens with an open mind, filters out the noise, and drives momentum toward the best solution - thank you for everything you do!”
Max Bentley
Customer Success Manager
“Max is a pleasure to work with, constant happy disposition keeps motivation high and also shows true professionalism consistently.”
Rosimel Chantre Da Silva
Office Manager
“Rosimel embodies 'One Team' - she keeps our offices running day to day, organizing socials, office moves and multiple projects, all while staying organized, confident and making sure the whole team feels happy, comfortable and taken care of.”
Nicole Farrell
Legal Engineer
“Nicole has taken a leading role within the Legal Engineering team this year - training new members, leading the team when senior colleagues are away, organising events for the wider company, and always being the first person others turn to for advice.”
Values that drive us
Abisola Fagbenle
People and Talent Business Partner
“GROW isn’t just a poster on the wall. It’s how we make decisions, how we support each other, and how we show up for our customers every single day. When we live these values, culture becomes our greatest competitive advantage.”
Lucy Jones
Lead Talent Acquisition Manager
“We don’t hire people to fit a template. We hire them to grow into our values.
Every training, every celebration, every tough conversation is guided by GROW. That’s how we build a workplace where people truly belong.”
Let's GROW together
We’re always looking for curious, respectful, and driven people who want to grow together. See our open roles and see if there is a fit for you.
