The EY Foundation has recognised us as the “Northern Employer Partner” for our support of their Smart Futures programme!

The charity works with young people from low-income backgrounds, helping them get paid work experience, employability skills training and receive career guidance.

Members of the firm have taken part in various activities, including mock interviews, mentoring sessions, Dragons’ Den-style events, and hosting work placements, giving students practical experience and contributing to their personal and professional growth.

Graham Sweeney: ”We’re proud to be recognised as ‘Northern Employer Partner’ for our support for the EY Foundation Smart Futures programme and making a positive impact to improve social mobility in our local communities.”

The award ceremony was held at EY’s Manchester offices, and we were in great company with other nominees in our category, such as Slalom Digital, the Alzheimer’s Society, and the National Protective Security Authority.
