Inclusivity – At the very heart of what we do, our aim is always to open up the world and workforce to as many as possible. We want everyone to have a share and feel that there’s a place for them. We may not always get it right, but we’re committed to having conversations, learning new ways we can support each other, and always helping one another.
Human – From humble beginnings Inkfire was born, and we don’t forget that. We know all the countless late nights, hard graft, and difficult decisions it takes to start and run a business successfully. At the core of what we do, we remember that we’re human and that always comes first. We’re here to support each other, help where we can, and remember to share a smile or kindness in each day.
