Working Together
Advanced Values
Advanced seeks to be a lean-and-mean logistics and services company that stays focused on our customers’ needs in an ever-changing business environment. We do not seek to be the biggest, just the best at what we do.
In order to provide this standard of service, we have the capacity and the personnel in place to be responsive and a management organisation and culture designed to provide innovative solutions. We are a company that is nimble in thought, light on its feet and quick to act.
The Advanced way of doing business is guided by six brand values that illustrate our ethos. These values are split across our people and our company and aim to define what people can expect when dealing with Advanced.
Our people
Knowledge – A premium is placed on knowing our business and our customers’ business. We support and promote the development of our people and provide systems to allow shared learning. We place a heavy emphasis on IT to ensure that we are a knowledge company.
Responsibility – We encourage our people to take responsibility, make decisions and be creative when it comes to solving problems. We believe this is the best way to ensure that both our customers’ needs and our employees’ ambitions are met.
Togetherness – Teamwork is the way to ensure that success follows naturally from the knowledge and responsibility contained in the company. Problems become opportunities if the group pulls together to achieve the right result. Mutual respect and personal warmth are what makes Advanced an enjoyable workplace.
Our company
Dynamism – Success in business requires flexibility, innovation and the taking of appropriate risks alongside trusted partners. Advanced brings new ideas to the table to create value for our customers and will back up those ideas with action.
Shared Growth – Business is not a zero-sum game; success breeds success. Advanced’s mission is to grow with its customers by enhancing their competitiveness. We will invest to help our customers break new markets and succeed in existing areas of activity.
Partnership – Working together is the way to unleash dynamism and provide shared growth. We provide peace of mind for our customers and allow them to focus on core business goals, while we seek continual operational improvement by increasing service levels and cutting costs.
