Our values

We asked our employees what it means to be an Arnold Clark employee. They came back with five core values that we try to uphold in all areas of the business.

Diverse in our make-up, united in our goals. We’re a company built on family values: integrity, tolerance, diversity, and stability. Quite simply, we care for and believe in each other.

Open, honest and available. We’re listening and we’re here for you; your voice will be heard. Communication goes both ways. We’ll keep you informed about the issues that matter to you.

Offering opportunities and encouraging ambition. We realise the potential and value in every employee, and offer routes for training, progression and career development, so our employees can progress along with the business.

Supporting our family and beyond. We believe in thinking beyond the company, giving back to the communities we serve and support, and embracing opportunities to help.

Acknowledging efforts and rewarding achievements. We understand every employee should feel like their hard work is important and worthwhile.

We’re proud all year round

We're Stonewall Diversity Champions and partner with Pride events throughout the UK, we’re proud to fly the rainbow flag by creating an inclusive environment for our customers and our people.

We are proud to have an LGBT+ and allies’ network that our employees can join at Arnold Clark, plus our Group Head of People, Lynne McBurney, was also named a Top 10 Corporate Ally at the British LGBT awards.

Over the last few years we have made all our people policies gender neutral and we’ve walked, driven and danced in Pride parades across the country while showing our support to LGBT+ causes like Yorkshire Terriers FC (LGBT football club).

Charity and good causes

We care about the causes close to our employees’ hearts, so if any of our employees are involved in fundraising for their community, we support them in any way we can.

Arnold Clark is proud to support good causes and fundraising events throughout the UK. In 2020, we were pleased to lend a hand to the NHS throughout the challenges they faced during lockdown.
