Education and Skills
Our Focus
Through our Learning and People Development activities we aim to help all our colleagues build their specialisations, increase their confidence, plan their career progression and make it happen.
We are a specialist lender, so these activities enhance our specialisations, support our differentiation from others and enable us to have market expertise and deep customer knowledge.
Measures, Disclosures and Progress
Maintain inclusion on the Great Place to Work® UK Best Workplace listing for Development
Progress made in 2025: We were included in the UK Best Workplaces for Development (ranked 75 out of 100) in 2025.
Strategy driven learning
In 2025 we introduced our new Learning Hub, a modern Learning Management System designed to help colleagues build the skills and confidence they need to perform at their best. With a personalised dashboard, clearer learning pathways and improved search tools, the platform makes it easier for colleagues to find and complete training that directly supports their roles and responsibilities.
The Learning Hub also provides managers with better oversight of team development, helping them identify skill gaps and ensure colleagues have the capabilities needed to support the Group’s strategic priorities. As new features roll out — including tools for setting objectives, managing performance and guiding one to one conversations — the platform will offer a more consistent and effective approach to performance management across the organisation.
By making learning simpler, more accessible and more closely aligned to business needs, the new Learning Hub is helping colleagues grow in their roles today while strengthening the skills and capabilities the Group needs to deliver its long term strategy.
