Sewell Group is a multi-disciplined group of companies operating across the North of England.
As a family business, it has a long and illustrious history dating back to 1876. Alongside its retail division, which operates 13 fuel and convenience stores across East Yorkshire, Sewell Estates is a collective of built environment businesses made up of Sewell Investments, Sewell Construction, Sewell Facilities Management, Illingworth and Gregory, and Shared Agenda.
At the heart of the business’ vision and strategy is delivering value for the communities it serves, promoting opportunities by employing local people and investing in developing talent, as well as giving back to communities and supporting the regional economy through commissioning the local supply chain.
The organisation has worked closely with the Goodwin Trust for many years, helping those with learning disabilities, differences, and special educational needs into the workplace. Sewell also partnered with Humber-based charity, Cat Zero, for Sewell’s Summer Gateway Programme, providing 13 individuals struggling to find employment the opportunity to undertake a month of paid work across the business.
Its charitable work has not gone unnoticed, having been awarded the Queens Award for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity in 2021, which looks at how organisations have supported people from disadvantaged backgrounds in improving their job skills and their chances of finding work.
Sewell prides itself on its commitment to support, train, develop, and reward employees. In return, it asks that employees work hard, live the company behaviours, and have some fun along the way.
