Two companies with a combined history stretching back more than 320 years joined forces at Humber Business Week to trace the roots of their corporate culture.
Rollits LLP, which dates back to 1841, invited the 150-year-old Rix Group to share the stage at The Deep and explore why corporate culture matters and how to build it.
Introducing Caroline Neadley from Rollits and Harry Rix from the Rix Group, facilitator Diana Taylor, managing director of Future Humber and Bondholders, said both speakers demonstrated the journeys that they are taking with their companies. She also set the scene by emphasising the importance of a good culture when it comes to recruiting and retaining staff, with lack of trust, loss of reputation and low engagement among the perils lying in wait for those businesses that fail to build their own corporate culture.
