Our Chemistry
At Joseph Ash, we have great chemistry. Not only in the processes or chemicals we use to galvanize steel, but also in the relationships we have with each other and our clients, suppliers and partners. A set of team-led values and behaviours drive this chemistry.
Decency and compassion: We respect each other and our differences and treat people as we want to be treated ourselves. We mix decency with good manners and listening skills. We also appreciate family: not only in our home lives but also in the family we have at work.
Growth and advancement: Growth through teaching and learning (internally and externally) is the catalyst for everything we do. We lead with experience and heritage, but we’re also enthusiastic about advancing and improving our products, processes, the industry, and ourselves.
Team spirit: We thrive on team spirit, whether we’re looking out for each other’s safety or working together to meet targets. Providing help and assistance, celebrating achievements, and laughing are the elements that bind us together. We have each other’s backs.
Responsibility: The safety and success of our business and our future sit in our collective hands. We know what is expected of us as individuals and teams and demonstrate a ‘can-do’ attitude to get things done.
