Office Life

When we’re in the office and not working remotely, it’s a relaxed atmosphere, we have sit-stand desks, a large collaboration area, a boardroom and quiet spaces to suit any working style.

But we know it’s not all about work, so while you’re here, why not challenge our resident Fifa champions on the PlayStation, go for a stroll in the countryside, or grab a speciality coffee in one of our fantastic local bakeries.

Our office is based in Westerham in Kent.

Hybrid Working

We have flexibility around remote working. Our teams can choose to work from home two days per week!

Fun Team Days

Our team have the opportunity to attend regular team days out, sometimes it’s a summer BBQ with games and sometimes it’s learning how to make cocktails. It varies, as our CEO is always looking for new fun things we can do together as a team.

There’s also a surprising number of pubs near the office and we sometimes nip out for a quick drink after work.

The Resident Dogs

The Arken team are big fans of having dogs in the office and we have a few office regulars. To be honest, it’s rare we don’t have a dog in with us.
