Our whole team play their part in supporting property managers to make homes safer for tenants and compliance simpler for landlords.
We are proud of our people. They make the difference each and every day.
Finding opportunities for people who share the company’s values will continue to underpin our growth into the future. While we might be a larger team than we once were, preserving the elements of our culture that made Detector Inspector a great place to work, whilst embracing some new ideas that help us grow, is something we all take seriously. We don’t ever want to lose the feeling that we’re part of a team, even a family. Regardless of whether we work from home or the office, on the road or abroad, we started this journey together and our success relies on us all doing our part.
