Our People

Our people are our greatest asset and are fundamental to the success of our business. They are amongst the most highly trained professionals in the industry and are committed to delivering excellent levels of care and service to all our customers.

We achieve this by ensuring we attract, recruit and retain people who support and can demonstrate KLM UK Engineering’s Core Values and Behaviours.

The growth and sustainability of the Company over the last 40 years has only been achievable through the ambition and drive of our team. We want our people to aspire to be the best they can be and we want to support them every step of the way to achieve their goals.

Our People Strategy

In 2017 we put together our People Plan for the business which focuses on driving performance by connecting with our people and supporting their development with the aim of making this a great place to work.  The plan focuses on three key areas; employee engagement, development of our people and rewarding and recognising great performance.

It is our responsibility to ensure that we recruit and retain talented individuals who share our values and demonstrate the behaviours that help deliver the best levels of performance.  We are committed to providing annual reviews which allow individuals to explore their strengths and development opportunities with the aim of provided targeted development plans to help people grow and develop the skills they need to succeed.  This is a two way process which relies on a commitment from both the leadership team and the individuals to ensure that development goals are realised and achieved.

We actively seek feedback from our employees, both on an annual basis with our Employee Engagement survey and on an ongoing basis through our employee representatives and engagement ambassadors.  We understand the need for regular, honest and transparent communication and provide our teams with quarterly business updates to share our progress and our successes.

Norwich is a wonderful fusion of the modern and historic, one complementing the
other. Like any great city its centre is easy to walk around and has a river at its heart.

It is the only English city in a National Park, the Norfolk Broads & is located less than 20 miles away from the nearest beach. Norfolk boasts 90 miles of coastline, all
unspoilt, clean, safe & family-friendly.

As well as being the most complete medieval city in the UK, it has a flourishing arts, music and cultural scene, superb independent as well as High Street shopping, lively restaurants, bars and nightlife and a heritage that is a delight to explore. It was also England's first UNESCO City of Literature – this is a city of stories!

The city’s historic street layout is wonderfully haphazard, but there’s no need to get lost, just look for the obvious landmarks – the spire of the majestic Norman Cathedral, the domineering castle on its tall mound and City Hall's clock tower.

If it's sights and attractions you're after, then Norwich doesn't disappoint. The city has the largest permanent undercover market in Europe, many museums and theatres, ancient pubs, cobbled streets such as Elm Hill, Timber Hill and Tombland, ancient buildings such as St Andrew's Hall, half-timbered houses such as Dragon Hall, The Guildhall and Strangers' Hall, the Art Nouveau delight of the 1899 Royal Arcade, a jumble of medieval lanes and a delightful riverside along the winding Wensum.

Open six days a week, Norwich Market is a vibrant riot of colour and commotion that's surrounded by some of the city’s great historic buildings, including the flint 15th century Guildhall. Underneath the rainbow-coloured roofs you will find stalls selling everything imaginable – at the very least we'd suggest a cone of chips, liberally doused with salt and vinegar. Go on – you're on holiday!

The city is also a shopper's paradise, with two shopping centres and four department stores, many independent stores and boutiques in the quaint Lanes and Timber Hill. Rated in the Top 10 UK shopping destinations, you'll soon realise why.

To properly appreciate the juxtaposition of contemporary and past, stand on Millennium Plain between the hangar-like, glass-fronted Forum (home to the city's library and TIC) and the 15th century St Peter Mancroft, the largest church in Norwich.
