About us
WE WANT ALL OF OUR PEOPLE TO THRIVE IN A CULTURE THAT GIVES THEM FLEXIBILITY AND INSPIRATION TO SAY MORE, DO MORE AND ACHIEVE MORE, AND IT’S IN OUR GIFT TO CREATE AND EVOLVE THAT CULTURE TOGETHER.
We believe high engagement leads to high performance and great results for our listeners, our customers and ourselves so we invest in our people-led culture to give everyone what they need to earn, learn and love what they do, every day.
If this feels like a bit of you, scroll down and learn some more about us, there’s lots to love.
Find
We are ALWAYS interested in connecting with people who share our values and have the potential, capabilities and attitude that we look for. From the moment you engage with us, you can expect nothing but a positive, friendly and fair experience.
We value and embrace diversity of thoughts, ideas and ways of working that people from all backgrounds, experiences and identities can bring to our culture and success. We are passionate about making CCUK a place where all of our people, present and future, can belong, be themselves and thrive.
Keep
Keeping our talent with us, doing what they love and achieving success takes strong relationships and true engagement. So it’s no coincidence we invest a lot of our time in understanding how our people feel about us, giving them a say in the way we do things and feeding back the good, the bad and the ugly (don’t worry, we can take it) about their experience at CCUK. This helps us stay in touch with what our people value most and helps us get it right when it comes to the things that genuinely make a positive difference to their work and home life experience.
Our people surveys are our secret ingredient to a healthy, happy, hybrid working culture and you can expect to have your voice from the moment you join us.

OUR PEOPLE
CCUK SUCCESS STORIES
Group Commercial Marketing Manager
Fiona Holleyhead
Walk us through your journey so far here at CCUK and tell us about some of your highlights?
I joined the company as Marketing Exec for Heart Yorkshire in 2017. A few months later I was extremely humbled (and shocked) to win the prestigious Make A Difference Award at the Company-wide Christmas Conference. Fast forward over the years my career has evolved into working across Heart and Smooth and now working across Group and it doesn’t stop there I enrolled in the company’s degree scheme and currently undertaking a Digital Marketing degree.
What are your top tips for mastering the work-life blend?
The ol’ cliché– fail to plan, plan to fail! Importantly making pockets of time for tasks and diarising them…. But honestly – Alexa sorts my life out, from setting reminders and alarms to compiling shopping lists, and populating the online shopping basket and even reading my children’s stories!
How have you found support from CCUK in achieving this?
CCUK invest in its people. Last year the entire company was taken on a 6 months goal achievement/life skills coaching training, this helped me plan out my own personal work-life blend. It’s not just career goals but also learning personal mindfulness and fitness ones too.
If you could give 1 piece of advice to someone starting their career at CCUK what would it be?
Enjoy the journey and embrace the opportunity that is available, from the free at-home fitness classes in the Ed App to writing and achieving your personal best.
Content Marketing Executive
Emma Robinson
Walk us through your journey so far here at CCUK and tell us about some of your highlights?
I started in 2018 in the street team, while doing my marketing degree. Not long after that, I was offered the opportunity to work as the Marketing Assistant. After graduating I was hired as Content Marketing Executive. I have now gone on to help build the CCUK website from the ground up, build my copywriting skills and so much more.
What made you want to work for CCUK?
I think for me it was seeing like-minded people who were passionate about what they did and that really stood out to me from my very first street star shift. I loved that hard work didn’t go unnoticed and really was recognised and rewarded.
How are we living up to your expectations?
A big thing for me is gaining experience in a range of different things and despite my title being “content marketing” I work across a lot of areas, I remember during the interview process someone telling me that no two days were the same and they were absolutely right. I could not have imagined that nearly a year into this role I would have achieved so many career goals already!
If you could give 1 piece of advice to someone starting their career at CCUK what would it be?
Build relationships and show off the passion you have for what you do. I think during my time as a street star I told just about anyone who would listen that I saw my future at CCUK, the team worked with me to ensure this goal was achieved. As some say persistence is a key ingredient to success!

OUR CCUK LEAVERS
Giving passionate people opportunities to grow their careers and achieve work and life success is a big part of what we do and we are so proud when we see them ready to take their next big step – even if it means saying goodbye. Here’s what Tom had to say about his time at CCUK.
“Working for CCUK has been one of the most rewarding corporate experiences I have had. The impact and change my role was able to have on the business came solely from the trust and support the company had in my ability and personal qualities to deliver what was needed. A good example of this from my time with the company is that CCUK has always fully supported me throughout my reserve military career as a Royal Marines Reservist. This support has resulted in me receiving a promotion within the military, which would not have been possible without CCUK. I would highly recommend CCUK to anyone looking to establish and challenge themselves in the corporate world. If you’re willing to put in the effort, CCUK will invest heavily in your development, and both you and the company will reap the rewards.”
