When he set up Athene in 2003, Chairman Richard Astle wanted to establish a company that is successful and sustainable because it adds value to its:

• Clients: Our strategic advice and expert day-to-day delivery drives our clients’ business success through tailored and compelling communication
• Colleagues: We provide our employees both the means to make a living enjoyably and – through the adoption of flexible working practices – the means to make a life
• Communities: We give our employees the time to play an active part in their community because we believe that companies exist to enhance society, not just to make a profit

Our success and reputation could not be possible without the skills and experience of our team. The way we work with you and together as a team is clearly defined as:

• Strategically: We work with you to use communication to drive your overall objectives
• Flexibly: We’re good at planning but adept too at adapting plans to changing circumstances
• Differently: We have no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, every client and every situation is different
• Diligently: We take pride in doing a good job for all our clients and always want to go the extra mile
• Together: We are a team, we work hard for each other, and we enjoy working in wider partnerships

We have a commitment to invest in the training and development of each of our employees, to ensure our skills and knowledge stay ahead of the game.
