Our culture

At Shipleys LLP, we like to help people thrive – be they clients, our professional contacts, and our colleagues.

For us, our employees are never a number. They are individuals and we respect their different interests, development goals and ambitions.

Ours is a supportive and caring culture that respects people’s work/life balance and provides opportunities to help people specialise and progress. We also like to support our local communities and specialist sectors and take our environmental impact seriously.

respecting work/life balance

We are an agile working firm where staff can work 3 days in the office and 2 days at home. Within the working day, we have core hours of working. This means the remainder of your daily hours can be allocated around those, so you can start and finish earlier or start and finish later in the day.

We have invested in our IT systems to support agile working among our workforce. We also respect people’s down-time away from the office.

On a family-friendly note, we are proud to have an enhanced maternity and paternity package.

Variety of work

Many colleagues tell us they value the variety of work we engage them in as they train and develop. This gives faster opportunities to specialise and progress in your chosen field.

friendly and supportive

We are proud of the diversity of our team and the friendly and caring environment they work in. See our recent diversity report.

Our people work hard but like to play too. We regularly run social events to bring colleagues together, including summer and Christmas parties, sporting events, themed dinner nights, and fundraising celebrations.

independence

It is important to us to look after our clients well, to maintain an environment that is a good place to work and to achieve solid financial performance, which secures our independence as a firm.
