Our People Stories:

I joined S&W on the apprenticeship scheme, attracted by their genuine care for employees. The support I received helped me excel in my day-to-day job and ACA exams. Starting in Audit and transferring to Risk Advisory, I’ve broadened my knowledge across business operations. The varied work and being part of the growing Risk Advisory team have accelerated my growth and development in ways I couldn’t have experienced elsewhere.
