Fairstone Group

Fairstone has developed relationships with local universities to attract their rising stars to its graduate scheme. It brings graduates in on a competitive salary and supports them, financially and mentally, to complete industry exams. The programme is also available to staff who want to gain formal qualifications in financial advice.
Over the past two years, Fairstone has donated to Age UK and Centrepoint, which helps homeless people. The company encourages payroll giving and corporate events have supported both charities. Staff joined a sleep-out and they are encouraged to take a paid day off to volunteer.
Fairstone’s culture is propagated most successfully when people come together, so events are designed to make that happen. They include conferences, awards ceremonies, professional development sessions, regular touch points with chief executive Lee Hartley and “fireside chats” with directors.
