Our values and behaviours

Our values and behaviours apply to everyone here at mhs.

Our success depends on everyone demonstrating our values and behaviours everyday. We use our Leadership Behaviours every day; in our recruitment, appraisals and when we're deciding on the best approach to solving a problem. It's just one of the things that makes us special.
