The Opportunity
Do you want to join one of only 18 businesses in the UK to receive the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity? The Sewell Group—headquartered in Hull since 1876—invites you to “Register Your Interest” for their diverse portfolio of businesses. Featured consistently in the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies list, Sewell is a “3-Star World Class” employer known for a culture where “brain software” (energy and morale) is just as important as “hardware” (systems). This isn’t just a talent pool; it’s an invitation to become a Co-Owner in an employee-owned business. If you are professional, positive, and customer-focused, this registration ensures your CV is the first thing they see when a role opens in their construction, FM, or “Sewell on the go” divisions.
The Sewell Business Ecosystem
By registering, you are signaling interest in a variety of specialist units:
-
Sewell Construction & I&G: Delivering major public and private sector building projects across Yorkshire.
-
Sewell Facilities Management: Providing total FM services and compliance for schools and health sites.
-
Sewell on the go: Their award-winning retail arm with 13 fuel and convenience stores in the Hull area.
-

The Role
Registering your interest is a proactive career move. Instead of waiting for a specific job post, you are entering a “Home for Talent” where mindset is valued over specific skill sets (which they believe can be taught). You provide your CV and cover letter, answer a few questions about your cultural fit, and wait for the “match.” This is the primary route into their GATEway programme for graduates and apprentices, as well as senior roles in quantity surveying, project management, or retail leadership.
