Why Ledingham Chalmers?

There are great opportunities at Ledingham Chalmers for personal development, training and progression in a supportive and friendly environment.

A few months ago we announced our latest figures, showing increased profits for the 2020/2021 financial year. At the same time we revealed we'd be investing six-figures over the next 12 months as part of our growth strategy to double revenue to £25million by 2025.

Having the right team in place will, of course, be instrumental to reaching that goal.

As such, and reflecting colleagues' commitment throughout the pandemic as well as our core value to treat others well, we allocated a £150,000 COVID-19 pot which was shared among everyone Ledingham Chalmers employed as at 31 March, 2021: a payment of £1,250 for someone working full-time hours.

Importantly too, the role comes with an attractive remuneration and holiday package as well as other bonuses, subject to qualifying conditions, and an additional day off on top of holiday entitlement for your birthday.
