We love hiring people early in their careers and helping them develop their careers with us. We very rarely hire senior staff, we prefer to promote from within. We’ve always had and continue to maintain very low staff turnover. Nearly a quarter of the staff have been with us for over 10 years!

We have an ongoing commitment to maintaining a strong work/life balance through flexible working and a range of wellbeing initiatives. We’re also focused on creating clear career progression paths.

We support staff in various ways to achieve their own continuing professional development goals, including providing financial assistance, flexible working, time off for study and exams. This extends beyond legally based qualifications. We’ve helped staff with training contracts and LPC and also assisted with conversion courses, ACCA (accounting) and HR qualifications. At our latest successful Lexcel accreditation assessment, we were recognised for its staff development.
