The Sewell Way
Our culture is the key thing that unites us as a group but sets us apart from other businesses. As a co-owned business, our people are more than just employees - they actually own 25% of the company. As part of the Group, we have a core set of values that drive us to do the right thing every day.
Our people are talented, cared for and unleashed – they live and breathe the Sewell culture.

Our commitment to our people
The wellbeing of our people is number one and has always been a key focus for the group. It’s important to us that our team feels valued, empowered and supported. To do this, what we provide includes:
- A bonus scheme and employee benefits
- Opportunities to grow and career development
- Mental Health first aiders
- A flexible working policy
- Wellbeing support and workshops
- Mentorship and coaching
We're a co-owned business
On 1 January 2023, the Estates side of our business, which includes Sewell Investments, Sewell Advisory, Parallel, Sewell Construction, I&G and Sewell Facilities Management, became part employee-owned, giving our people a greater say in how the business is run and the potential to share in any company profits.
"Sewell is a great place to work. There's a genuine desire from our leaders to get the best out of people by treating them well and rewarding hard work. We work hard, but we play hard too!"
Promoting Opportunity
From the very start of the business, people have been our number one focus and we’ve always involved and valued them. From being the first in Yorkshire to achieve Investors In People status back in 1996, to being listed in the Sunday Times Top 100 companies to work for, and most recently our Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity – we’ve always tried to innovate and make the Sewell Group a great place to work.
Caring for our communities
Doing the right thing by our people, caring for our planet, and having an impact on the places we work is central to our approach. Which is why we want our people to play their part in things that matter to them. Everyone is granted five paid volunteering days each year to allow them to give back to their local community.
what makes us special
There’s so much to say about our fantastic teams and the people that make our business a success, so we’ve put them all together in our very own Culture Book.
So, grab a cuppa, coffee, a cold one, sit back and have a browse.
