Corporate Responsibility

Commitment


Crunch is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, eliminating and making a stand against offences of “slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour” and human trafficking. Crunch is proud to have been an accredited Brighton Living Wage employer since 2017. The Living Wage is independently calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK and considers the amount that allows a person to live, rather than just survive. Crunch is not directly at risk of Modern Slavery, but they acknowledge that some of the partners in their supply chain may carry a risk and the necessary steps are in place to mitigate this risk.


Business activities and relationships


They value the quality of their business relationships with their clients, suppliers and partners based in the UK or abroad and have no evidence that any modern slavery or human trafficking has taken place in their supply chain. They’ve started the process to include obligations to comply with labor standards into their third party supplier contracts. In the event that any such activity is suspected or found to have taken place by existing suppliers and partners, swift action will be taken as part of our contingency planning processes in the event that a client, supplier or partner is found to fall below the standards we expect.


Customer Insights

“Simple process with great service! Zoe made everything so easy from the emails to confirm call times, to explaining the process, T&C’s, how it all works etc. A star!” – Sol Cooper


 


“I honestly have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to accounts or banking… yet somehow I’m running a company. I can say that thanks to the Crunch team who always have time to answer my questions that could be about their platform or just how tax works.”- Rob


 


“Andrea is incredibly knowledgeable and was so helpful to me today. She went above and beyond and called out areas that needed to be sorted out in my accounts that I didn’t even think about. Thank you again.” – Grant Murray


 


“These guys have been fantastic in getting our mortgage sorted. I was concerned that it would be a nightmare as we are both contractors and I have less than a year’s worth of accounts. But Jamie was confident that wasn’t a problem – and so it proved! A quick and easy process – would definitely recommend!” – Valentina


 


“Having been self-employed very recently I was a little worried at the offers which may be available to me if any. Having spoken to another broker who informed me I would have no choice but to take a mortgage with higher interest rates I came across Crunch… The application was processed at lightning speed and I was always kept in the loop and informed of updates. Highly recommended and very affordable, worth every penny.” – Zain Sultan

They are also fun to work with, and based in Brighton, which makes the odd face-to-face meeting a joy. If you have the opportunity to work with them, I’d snap it up!” – Ken Whipday, Co-founder, TripCatcher
