International Women in Engineering Day.

We’re celebrating #INWED23 by shining a spotlight on some of the incredible female employees in the Shepley Group

Our people are key to our success.

We aim to invest in and develop top-class talent to meet our customers’ requirements, bridge the skills gap and enable local communities we work in to flourish.

Our workforce is inclusive and diverse, and everybody is welcome. Strong organisations are shaped by the people in them, and we do our best to ensure everybody feels like they’re valued, where they can thrive and perform their best.

We have a proven history of internal progression. Our Managing Director started as a pipefitting apprentice in 1995, and several members of our Board of Directors come from apprentice backgrounds.

We continually develop our employees to enable them to achieve their full potential, and over 10% of our current workforce are in earn-and-learn positions, from school leaver apprenticeships to Masters’ graduates.

#INWED23
