Creating opportunities
Skills can be learnt, so we hire on cultural fit first before anything else. Our leaders are dedicated to recruiting the right people and developing our own talent.
At the top of our agenda is creating opportunities for communities and people to thrive – employing within our communities, for our communities. As a Group, we’re one of only 18 businesses across the country to have been recognised in the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity through Social Mobility, which recognises our contribution to the region through employing local people, investing in talent, giving back to communities, and supporting the regional economy.
Did you know we're part employee owned?
The Estates side of our business, which includes Sewell Investments, Shared Agenda, Community Ventures, Parallel, Sewell Construction, Illingworth & Gregory and Sewell Facilities Management, is part employee-owned.
Our majority shareholder, Paul Sewell, moved 25% of the company’s shares into an employee ownership trust, meaning our people are now Co-Owners in the business, giving them a greater say in how the business is run and the potential to share in any company profits.

Best Companies is the number one specialist for workplace and employee engagement in the UK and its survey also powers the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For list.

Join us for work experience
Promoting opportunity
With a purpose beyond profit, our strategy and vision is centred around providing activities or training to help people from disadvantaged backgrounds develop both hard and soft skills, as well as building upon aspirations and increasing motivation.
We deliver value for the communities we serve, creating opportunities for people to be involved in projects, supporting communities, charity groups and pioneering initiatives to support people who need it.
"It was a fantastic opportunity for the young people involved to add experience to their CV and help them gain confidence to take with them into future employment."
Graduates, apprentices and trainees
Gateway Programme
Our GATEway programme supports those looking for graduate roles, apprenticeships, traineeships or seeking work experience.
In a recent partnership with Humber-based charity Cat Zero, we launched a summer internship programme as one initiative to open opportunities to people who may not have otherwise had them. Twelve participants took part in a month of paid work across Sewell Group businesses to give them valuable experience in a bid to help them into the job market. They were matched with different areas of the business including FM, Sewell Construction, Shared Agenda and Professional Services.
