OUR VALUES

Our values and behaviours have been created to give us strength, consistency and set expectations of what to expect from each other as colleagues, but also to help us meet (or exceed) the expectations of our customers and suppliers.

By each of us living and breathing these values and behaviours day-to-day, together we will build a great place to work and be a great company to do business with.

We each have ownership for our own behaviours and actions. It’s up to each of us to make a difference!

Teamwork is vitally important for us; working together will help us achieve our goals and be the best we can be.

  • I communicate respectfully, openly and transparently to build genuine relationships

  • I pull together as ‘one team’ with my colleagues, no matter our location, role or function

  • I willingly encourage others, and share ideas and knowledge to help us succeed

  • I inspire others by the way I do things.

Taking Pride in the work we do is integral to a happy workforce, and is built around understanding the impact we have on the lives of others.

  • I take ownership and responsibility to make things happen with pride and urgency

  • I am flexible in my approach and reliable in doing what needs to be done to meet (or exceed) colleague or customer expectations

  • I am an expert in what I do and I am proud to make a difference

  • I muck-in with colleagues in times of crisis, to deliver a strong impact on our customers, communities and environment

Caring is crucial to building successful relationships and we know the Care we put into our work can be seen and felt by others.

  • I delight others by delivering exceptional service, treating people as they want to be treated

  • I welcome and respect differences, recognising the value each of us brings

  • I actively listen to others, building trusting relationships by being approachable and friendly

  • I understand my customers’ needs. If it matters to my customers, it matters to me!

We are forward thinking and always strive to Improve. As individuals, we set personal goals and, as a wider workforce, we enable those goals to be achieved.

  • I never stop learning; recognising mistakes, turning them in to opportunities and celebrating and sharing success

  • I positively challenge how things are done, actively seeking external perspectives and finding new ways to do things better

  • I always seek to improve myself and the way I do things

  • I am open-minded to new ideas, different viewpoints and to change

Our single most important outcome is to ensure every colleague goes home Safe at the end of each day. By all of us putting safety at the forefront of everything we do, safety is never compromised.

  • I keep myself, others and our environment safe by my daily actions

  • I reinforce positive safety behaviours with others and challenge any unsafe behaviours I see

  • I speak up if I have an idea for improvement or change, and if something isn’t as I’d expect

Our Values and Behaviours guide our decision making, they define our beliefs and determine what it feels like to be part of our team. It is really important that our Values and Behaviours were created by our people within the business in order to truly reflect what we all believe is important. Our Values define what we stand for and are our DNA. However, it is the Behaviours that really bring them to life, give them meaning and relevance and help to create our culture.

It is essential that all of us live these Values and Behaviours day-in and day-out. They should guide how we interact and communicate and allow us to bring out the best in both ourselves and in each other. We are privileged to have so many amazingly committed and dedicated people working in our business delivering great results and service every day.

OUR IDENTITY

King Urian, 6th Century King of Rheghed

At Orian Solutions, our identity is intricately woven into the fabric of our heritage and local roots. The name Orian, derived from Urien, a 6th-century king of Rheged, embodies a rich history that resonates deeply with our team. It reflects not only our commitment to quality and service but also pays homage to the storied past of Cumbria, where the heart of Urien's kingdom lay.

The choice of royal violet and gold as our brand colors further underscores this connection to history and prestige. These colors are prominently featured in the uniforms of our employees, symbolizing our dedication to professionalism and the values that define us. As we continue to grow and serve commercial businesses, educational institutions, and healthcare establishments across the North of England, we remain grounded in the principles that inspired our name and identity. Orian Solutions stands as a testament to a legacy of excellence, resonating with the communities we serve.
