A MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

“If Nineteen opportunity came in a milk carton, this would be full-fat. I write on a flight Houston to NY, one potential acquisition to the next, with US President, Mary. We are completing on our first US acquisition, with a another 4 in the pipeline, and that’s just stateside!

Mary is also close to finalising our Boston HQ, joining HK, Singapore and of course our new double-size global headquarters in London.

I pinch myself, in the skies, at the enormity of the scope for Nineteen, but more so, how lucky I am to work alongside the best talent on the planet. You!”

Chief Executive Officer

Safety & Security: Operation Cotswolds ✈️🌞

The Safety & Security team swapped their laptops and spreadsheets for a two-day getaway in the Cotswolds! The team away day was the ideal opportunity to align on strategy for the future of the Safety & Security portfolio, between now and 2028!

Finance Away Day

Trading the familiar setting of Wimbledon for the stunning scenery of the Cotswolds, the team engaged in intensive workshops that focused on the three key pillars:

  • Team culture
  • Bringing the fun to S&S 2026
  • Commercial wins

Aside from serious work discussions, the team made sure to set aside some time for team building and challenged themselves to raft-building, rope walking, and canoeing! Bring on next year!

Growing Strong: Finance Team Away Day 📈

Earlier this month, the Finance team filed away their budgets, bank statements, and spreadsheets to enjoy an away day!

Nineteen Group is growing, and growing quickly, so it was the perfect time to bring together our amazing Finance team for some strategic thinking and team bonding.

The theme of the day was: Maintaining a best-in-class finance function for a fast-growing business to ensure we keep up!

Finance Away Day

The discussions were highly productive, and the team came away invigorated with a number of quick-win actions and some longer-term projects to get their teeth into!

Nineteen supporting the next generation of talent with the EY Foundation 🌱✨

In partnership with the EY Foundation, our Content, Finance, Marketing, Operations, and Sales superstars delivered a masterclass to some impressive young talent! 🚀 (Huge shout-out to Rachael Shattock for making it all happen! 💝)

Finance Away Day

The team had a great time explaining what makes Nineteen great, what we do as a business, and the fantastic opportunities we offer to kick-start any young professional's career. ⚡

These young minds are the future, and we're here for it! Thanks to all our brilliant team members involved in inspiring the stars of tomorrow! 🌟

Set against the backdrop of the stunning Singapore Flyer, our team engaged in a spot of Monday morning yoga to begin their week with a sense of calm and zen.
