Our culture and values

Duke Street is an open and straightforward business.

We believe in being clear in our investment decisions. We say what we plan to do up front so everyone involved knows where they stand. If issues need addressing, we believe in tackling them head on.

This approach appeals to the management teams we work with. They know that, unless circumstances change, they will be left to get on with running the business, closely supported by the Duke Street investment team and Operating Partners. Read about the Duke Street Triangle.

We work in a similarly open way within Duke Street. We believe in giving everyone the chance to make a contribution. Everyone is accountable; everyone can be challenged, regardless of seniority.

We believe everyone at Duke Street should have the chance to share in our success.

Our culture plays well with the sort of management teams we want to work with because, more often than not, it reflects their own style and approach. Like us, they are open-minded, straightforward, committed and ambitious.
