OUR VALUES
No matter what
No problem
When others say no, we say no problem. By working together to develop our skills, strategies and solutions we can deliver what has never been done before – and can solve problems that haven’t yet been solved.
No limits
Excel collectively. Grow individually. Belong globally. We are honest and to be true to ourselves, we share a responsibility to be the best we can be and to always do the right thing. To exceed limits, empower each other, and achieve great things together.
No better
It is our belief there is no smarter, kinder or better company you could partner with – or be a part of. We understand the importance of balancing our professional and personal worlds – and in both we give our best, take time to give back and never give in.
Spirit of Brian Conlon Award
The annual ‘Spirit of Brian Conlon Award’ has been created to recognize exemplary FD Technologies employees whose contribution to the company embodies the core values that Brian so passionately believed in – a commitment to personal development and learning, good corporate citizenship, and a focus on excellence in customer service and delivery.
