- Early Finishes: We finish at 3.30pm on a Friday. If you hit target you can finish at 1pm on Fridays.
- Hybrid Working Model: Quay Crew values flexibility. Following your probationary period, we operate a hybrid working model that allows you to work three days in the office and two days from home (Tuesday & Thursday), and we also offer an option to start/finish work an hour earlier.
- Membership to a ‘perks’ platform that offers everything from same-day online GP appointments, prescriptions & counselling to discounted cinema tickets & discounts with 4,000 online retailers, plus many more benefits.
