OUR VALUES
The Kocho Way
-
Do what's right
We believe that greatness thrives on doing the right thing. That’s why we embrace each other's differences, celebrate honesty, and respect every opinion. We stand up for what’s important, always taking care of each other and the planet. And we know that life happens outside of work, so we encourage everyone to find a good balance.

Think greater
We’re always striving to expand our minds and grow our expertise. No matter how high the bar, we can raise it. And we’re not afraid to fail, every mistake is a lesson. Every day we challenge ourselves to find a better way of doing things. We’re relentless in our quest to create great solutions and even greater careers.

Better together
We believe that solid teamwork leads to the best results. Collaboration isn’t just a buzzword for us – it’s our ethos. We’re relationship people. We love to work in partnership at every step, sharing every challenge and learning, as well as celebrating every win. It’s a one team thing.
Fundamentally, we are a people business. The enthusiasm, expertise, and innovation create the energy – and simply make it a pleasure to come to work every day.
Hannah Birch
CEO
For us, saying that we care about our people isn’t just empty sloganeering. We really believe that without our people, we can’t achieve greatness.
That’s why we’ve made Kocho the sort of environment where our people can thrive – and we’ve had our efforts recognised, winning the Investors in People Silver Award and Times Best Places to Work Award in 2025.
