The hotdog challenge is harder than it looks, but when the causes are as valued as partners @weseehope and @SelbyTrust, we're happy to get stuck in. Yesterday's Dealing for Donations Day saw #MakoPeople step up once again to put the fun into fundraising. 👏🏻 🙏🏻 #DFDD2019 #Mako20

Mako united. Dealing for Donations Day is a special day for Mako and the charity partners we're proud to support. A fun day of games, competitions, boxing, rowing, and riding a rodeo shark (!) began with a group photo. pic: @hardyccphotos #Mako20 #DFDD2019 @WeSeeHope @SelbyTrust

Developer Nick Dean spent four years working on community projects in Ghana before joining Mako, and was one of six volunteers who visited our long-term partner @WeSeeHope in Malawi earlier this month. How does your business ensure sustainable philanthropy? #Mako20 #MakoPeople

Variety, new challenges and motivated colleagues are all part of the Mako experience for Sean Rayland, one of several young people driving our business forwards. Is a mix of youth and maturity important to your company? How do you balance experience with enthusiasm? #WeAreMako

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

Director James Cole is our longest-serving employee. With a career encompassing 'the pit' and 'click trading', he is a leading voice in our integration of automated trading. How does your business ensure that experience is recognised in a fast-changing industry? #MakoPeople

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

Recognising the value of individuals is key to our business. Talented people who want to be regarded a more than a number find a home at Mako, where a flat structure allows good ideas to be heard and implemented. How does your business empower individuals? #MakoPeople #WeAreMako

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

We marked the beginning of our 20th anniversary with a few glasses of prosecco, but the initiatives we've planned for #Mako20 will ensure that this important anniversary becomes a catalyst, rather than a milestone. How does your company balance reflection and inspiration? #Mako20

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

On cue. Our six interns performed as well in their end-of-programme tests as at the Mako pool table. Bright, enthusiastic and capable, a week after their departure, our London HQ feels a little emptier without our first cohort of three young men and three young women. #Mako20

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

Our CEO @trystanms has an innate ability to connect with people. This natural skill, combined with a flat organisational structure, empowers everyone in our business to share new ideas with him and our leadership team. How does your business inspire open communication? #WeAreMako

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

Time passes quickly in such a fast-moving industry and today sees our interns conclude their stay with our traders and developers, just six weeks after starting our pilot programme. Does your business offer internships? How do you ensure a rewarding experience? #WeAreMako #Mako20

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

Software developer Nick Dean only joined us a little over a year ago, but embodies our core spirit. Having worked for four years on community projects in Ghana, he'll be an invaluable asset when we travel to Malawi next month with longterm charity partner @WeSeeHope. #Mako20

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

As technology and trading become increasingly integrated, an interdisciplinary approach is adding resilience and scalability to our business. It's a strategy supported by brilliant people. How does your business adapt to changes inspired by technology? #MakoPeople

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

Our fast-moving industry is no place for an academic approach to learning. The first cohort of bright young minds on our pilot internship programme has acquired new skills quickly, and then applied them. How does your business manage the challenge of on-the-job training? #Mako20

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

We're using our 20th anniversary as a springboard for fresh ideas and innovations, as well reflecting upon the huge changes to our industry and our embrace of them. Is your business celebrating an anniversary? How are you making it a catalyst, and not just a milestone? #Mako20

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

@AlexPierrot2 @WeSeeHope A superb effort @AlexPierrot2, and in support of a wonderful cause, too. Congratulations 🙌

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

We recruit people whose ambitions and approach not only aligns with our existing culture, but who also demonstrate the qualities to augment and enhance it. Rosalyn Xiao from our operations team is a fine example. How does your business identify the ideal candidate? #MakoPeople

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

When is a pool table not a pool table? When it's a hub for inter-departmental interaction and a non-adversarial environment that rewards good strategy and friendly competition. The Mako pool table is a cherished feature in our office. What works in yours? #WeAreMako #MakoPeople

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

"People no longer want just to go to work, to do their job and go home. People want purpose and meaning. They want to feel connected.” CEO Trystan Schauer's understanding of motivation is a key factor in a culture built and shared by everyone at Mako. What drives you? #WeAreMako

[Mako Trading @MakoTrading]

A school playground offered an unlikely home-from-home for our bright minds. The tools may have differed, but our recent day building furniture at #KobiNazrulPrimary shone a spotlight on our strengths: problem solving, teamwork and a willingness to embrace challenges. #WeAreMako
