Ampa Group is a dynamic collective of legal and professional services brands united by a shared purpose: to unlock potential for good. With over 1,400 people across more than 20 office hubs, Ampa Group has cultivated a culture where wellbeing, inclusion and personal growth are not just encouraged—they’re embedded into everyday life.

Social committees bring people together through events that blend fun with purpose—karaoke nights, bake sales and wellbeing walks often carry a charitable element. Inclusion networks also play a vital role, with events such as the Muslim network’s annual ‘fast with us’ during Ramadan and regular Pride participation by Amplify, their LGBTQAI+ group. The Wellbeing Inclusion Group has energised the business with initiatives like photography competitions, book clubs and walking groups, helping colleagues connect through shared interests.

Learning and development are central to Ampa Group’s ethos. Their online platform, The Academy, supports career progression, while in-person bespoke programmes like their award winning Re-Think leadership programme gives their leaders a solution focussed thinking toolkit to help them and their teams become more purposeful, more innovative and more productive. Over the past year, 300 Insights profiles have been completed to foster team understanding, and 15 team development days have helped shape collaborative cultures.

Recognition is timely and meaningful, with on the spot Star Awards and an annual ‘exceptional award’ pot celebrating outstanding contributions.

Our people are our greatest strength – and we know it’s our clients and communities who benefit from our investments in them. That’s why we ensure we create continuous opportunities for career development and personal growth – we keep our promises, listening to feedback from our people, and most importantly we take action. Everyone’s voice is important if we are to achieve our growth and culture ambitions. We also want our people to have a true work-life balance and embrace our empowered working ethos. Because our culture lives in our behaviours, we focus on amazing outcomes rather than where or when they’re delivered.

Sarah Walker-Smith, Chief Executive
