Join a growing organisation
As a growing organisation, we are always on the lookout for innovative and talented team members.
Our culture
We understand how much our colleagues bring to our organisation, which is why we try our best to give back, too. But don’t just take our word for it – we're proud to have received an ‘Outstanding’ rating in the 2023 Best Companies survey.
If you’re passionate about what you do, we'll reward you with a collaborative and engaging working environment. We’re also fully committed to equality and diversity and promoting a culture that actively values differences.
Take it from our team
You’re working where?” “Where’s Chatham?” are just some of the comments I received when leaving central London (literally Holborn, so central as can be!) to work for OSB Group. I not only moved areas but I moved business types (publishing to finance) and functions (editorial to marketing). I was nervous at making the leap but I have never been happier at work.

Recognised for being a great place to work
To provide great customer service and continue creating award winning products, we need to look after our people. Our people are integral to our success and we want to nurture a hardworking, fun, supportive and inclusive environment. To ensure we stay in tune with our employees, we complete regular surveys and this is the result:
Values we live by
Our Purpose is to help our customers, colleagues and communities prosper. Our Values were carefully devised in-house by our people, for our people. They’re what our employees stand by, and support us in achieving our purpose.
We collaborate to create a culture in which we all share goals and values. We aim to build trust, respect and openness across the company. Using each other’s strengths alongside our own, we pull together, achieve more and surpass our competitors.
We all have responsibility for what we do and don’t shy away from asking tough questions. We take ownership of what needs to be done as well as our personal and professional development, helping to achieve the collective goals of the business. We don’t allow problems or concerns to continue, we act.
We set the bar high for ourselves and our customer service. Our customers are the ones who know when we're going above and beyond and remember the promises we keep. We look for continuous improvement and think creatively. We aim to be a role model – to inspire others around us to do the same.
We treat all others fairly and communicate in a way that respects an inclusive and diverse culture, listening to all voices and ensuring opinions are offered and heard. Everyone should be encouraged to reach their full potential and receive equal opportunity to do so, irrespective of background and beliefs.
We act with conscience and take social, environmental and ethical factors into consideration at all times. We apply the robust policies and procedures of our established governance frameworks to ensure our ‘brand’ is protected, and find ways to positively impact our customers, colleagues and the wider community. We speak up when it matters.
