Code of Ethics

Operating in our sector requires integrity and an ethical approach to business. In the City of London markets, the original stock market participants had an ideology that was based on the mantra “My word is my bond”. The markets operated for many years successfully without the need for recorded conversations and a myriad of regulations, because the participants in that market trusted each other for their mutual benefit.
Curtain Rising adopts this philosophy, not only in its name but in the attitude of “My word is my bond”.

Career Opportunities

Whether you are interested in a trainee position or whether you are professional, experienced in your field, we can introduce you to the many opportunities available throughout our business.





Get To Know Us

When you are looking for a new position, you probably have your own mental checklist of the kind of company you would like to be associate with, So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that we're just as specific - both in what we expect from employees and the ways in which we reward their talents.

Why are we so special? You should know first that Curtain Rising is not just a company, it is, quite simply, a dedicated team who share the same attitude to life and to work. A career with us feels different because it is different. We believe in creating maximum economic value for our clients and our shareholders, as you'd expect from an organisation in our sector, but we mix this with values and principles that create a team spirit that may be missing from other companies. We think teamwork is paramount and that respect and integrity between employees is equally important. This is reflected in both the way we do business with our clients and in our working environment.

Great believers in the 'goal centered culture', where goals are set for the entire organization and where everyone within it is expected to help achieve them, we are looking for like minded people. If you decide to apply and go on to join our company, we don't just want you to behave professionally or give one hundred percent, we want you to share our goals too. The way we see it, success is a joint responsibility.

We understand a culture in which people are challenged and expected to help realise the ambitions of an organisation in a supportive and human environment, is not for everyone. This is what differentiates Curtain Rising from other employers
