A 'motivational, fulfilling and safe environment' is what Origin offers its employees, encouraging them to thrive.

The Buckinghamshire-based manufacturer of bespoke aluminium bi-folding doors and windows aims to transform the way families enjoy their homes from inside to out – a vision that unites its team.

The all-company summer events are the headline get-togethers, invigorating teams and forging new connections. They have included creative team-building activities like cardboard F1 car construction and racing, and employees working together to paint canvases to make up a large mural – showing that through collaborative working, Origin is greater than the sum of its parts!

Visibility is important at Origin, whether that's supporting the local community through its sponsorship of Wycombe Wanderers or giving employees time with directors in roundtable sessions to discuss what could make the company an even better place to work.

And the company prides itself on the opportunities it gives entry-level team members to grow and develop through promotions or working within different departments. The ‘one team’ approach means staff are always supported to follow their interests and passions.

Origin recognises it's the little things that make a big difference to life at the company, whether that's bringing an ice cream van to site as a 'thank you' on hot days or following feedback, making tweaks and changes on the shop floor to simplify processes and improve efficiency.
