Business Identities

We are part of The Hive Group that enables the group business to thrive, providing the platform for a great working enviroment while each brand focusses on their own market. The Hive brands are Nicoll Curtin, BeecherMadden and District4, based in London, Zurich, Singapore and New York.

The Nicoll Curtin offices are located in London, Zurich and Singapore.

Our Group has four company values and we think that each of our business units should have their own Identity as well.

The Hive #MakeItHappen

We are constantly seeking new ways to improve our processes, globalise and standardise with a view to streamline and maximise the revenue generated from our brands.

NCT UK #BeOutstanding

The drive to be outstanding has always been linked with the group. It’s is really important now that we’re a cut above the competition in terms of quality, customer service and outside the box thinking.

NCT SGP #AlwaysDoBetter

Everything we do we’ve always got to ask ourselves - 'Can we do better?' Yes we can. And that is how we will continue to always be ahead of our competitors, challenging ourselves, never giving up, never giving an excuse, as every single one of us in the office was hired because we are good enough for the job, and good people always stretch themselves to do better.

NCT ZH #NoExcuses

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Our Values

#PeopleFirst

You have the best people, you win. It’s simple. It’s what we deliver for our clients and the principle by which we live. Our people are our asset, so we hire the best and support them to thrive and be happy. That’s why we’re so passionate about Diversity & Inclusion. Talent is talent.

#ThinkSmartThinkDifferently

We didn’t become our clients’ top-performing agency by following the herd. We’re here to ensure our customers have an outstanding future. For that, cookie-cutter thinking won’t do. So we encourage everyone to be inventive. And take the long-term view.

#AlwaysDoTheRightThing

It’s about the decisions you make when no one’s looking. Treating everyone with respect regardless. Holding fundraisers. Volunteering our skills to those who need them. After all, if what you’re doing isn’t helping someone, it’s not worth doing.

#WordHardWorkTogether

No one’s born outstanding. You have to work at it. But it’s not enough to be the best. You need the best team. We’ve been voted as one of the best companies to work for because our people are our foundation. And we love what we do.

Career Development

We're Nicoll Curtin, the award-winning global FinTech & Change recruitment agency, with the APSCo 2018 International Recruitment Company of the Year as the latest feather in our cap. We connect outstanding talent with industry-leading companies and we aim to be the best at what we do – 9 out of 10 of our candidates recommend us.

We take people with a spark and invest in their future. That's why we offer bespoke in-house development programmes and a training fund to enable you to be the best you can be! In our company you career progression won't be based only by the years spent on certain position but also by the accomplishments you achieved.

We are utilising best practise across business. Every goal, long-term or short, needs to be rooted in a vision of success. Therefore, we are using Performance People and Financial Data Analytics Platform so you could keep yourself on track and get up to speed.

Equality & Diversity

We believe in the power of diversity and how it drives a high-performance business. We get it because we live it ourselves and are constantly learning new ways to improve. Our management mix, and overall employee mix, is highly diverse across gender and ethnicity.

We work in an environment where diversity is the norm for us. We've been recognised by Enei for having an "Inclusive Culture". We are proud to say 44% of our leadership team are female and we have a good LGBT presence across the group.

We engage diverse candidates in the application process by demonstrating your commitment to diversity and your organisation’s mechanisms to help them overcome barriers to succeed. Even when it takes the form of a difficult or ‘loaded’ conversation, we will probe, question and challenge often long-held assumptions, revealing biases that may exist in the specification or assessment of candidates.

Summer Party

Christmas Party

As our Awards Night is the main event of the year, we don’t have a typical Christmas Party. Christmas Afternoon is basically Christmas Jumper Day. Everyone wears a Christmas jumper, we gather in the kitchen towards the end of the day and we do Secret Santa.

Afterwards, whoever wants to join in can get involved with some Christmas themed games.
