Our philosophy regarding recruitment is that we look to employ people who will hopefully spend a number of years with us building their careers.

There are a number of employees who have been with us over 10 years, and in fact quite a few of our management team have been with Sargeant Partnership Limited since they left school.

Perhaps most notably is one of the Partners, Joanne Brown. who joined the firm from school.
