11 Our Values

Commit To Excellence

We make the choice to be the best version of ourselves. We are proud of what we do. We focus on results and we are committed to the process. We are curious. We listen. We actively seek feedback and use it to raise the bar. We are always improving.

Find A Way

We are resourceful. We innovate to create solutions. We break down barriers to get the job done well. We are self-reliant but we build and maintain effective networks so we can ask for help and advice.

Be Accountable

We take responsibility for our own results, performance and personal development. We do what we say we will do. We act with integrity. We share the credit when it goes well and we look at ourselves first when it doesn't. We trust and are trusted.

One Team

We build trust. We challenge and inspire one another. We pull our own weight and more. To achieve our own success we will proactively help someone else get theirs first. We believe teamwork multiplies results and makes work fun.

Show Passion

We are professional but with personality. We believe in fearless consulting. If all else fails we resort to passion. We communicate courageously and courteously. We harness our expertise in what we do to engage, motivate and achieve results in a way we can be proud of.

Macildowie Through The Years

In 1993 we were founded as Macildowie Davids. In the next quarter century we successfully navigated the economic impact of the attack on the twin towers, the banking crisis, bird flu, the COVID Pandemic and others.

We’ve learned that from adversity comes opportunity. We became the UK’s first “Recruitment and Retention” consultancy in 2020 and the resulting explosion of growth has created massive opportunity for our people.
