Wolf - About Us
The core Wolf team, boilermakers, draughtsman, engineer, quality managers, toolmakers, turners, welders and office staff, is made up of more than 30 people, and this page presents the core of the Wolf business, who we are, what we look like, our various responsibilities.
Our Code of Conduct
Please download and read the Wolf Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put Wolf’s values into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Wolf will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct.
Our Values
Our values drive our behaviour and reflect how we interact with all our business stakeholders and interested parties be they customers, suppliers or staff.
The key principle we have that helps us maintain our enthusiasm and focus, even in the most trying of circumstances, is a grounding of everything we do in a bigger picture tied to a noble purpose. If all we were interested in was making money, we would be elsewhere.
So how do we see the world? Here's an example. Where others merely see a backhoe or face shovel as a piece of mining equipment, we associate that excavator, working in that coal pit as an essential component in powering our nation. We see ourselves as helping keep the nation warm at night, helping generate electricty for kids to do their homework. Understanding this context can help you deal with all sorts of demoralising obstacles and helps us maintain pride in what we do.
Here's another example of how we see the world. Every employee and member of staff with Wolf supports on average at least 4 people, some indeed support many more, the wider impact of our responsibilities toward these bread-winners and the huge impact on so many lives if we fail in what we do, is a responsibility we take seriously. Health and safety of our workers and the ability to look after our people is driven by this contextual view.
Lastly, we try and maintain balance. We laugh a lot, need to enjoy our work, and although we are serious about what we do, believe work must be fun and fulfilling.
If we do not live up to our values, please let us know!
- We keep our promises.
- We don´t have to be asked something twice.
- We will go the extra mile to help.
- We are easy to do business with.
