The Equality Pledge

At PEM we want employees to be able to bring their whole selves to work, feel supported, and that they have equal opportunities to progress. We want to shape a culture that puts respect, inclusion, and diversity at its heart.

This is why we have signed the South Cambridgeshire District Council Equality Pledge, so we can show our employees and the wider community, that we are taking this journey seriously.

This pledge will hold PEM accountable to advocate for EDI and continue to drive forward an inclusive and diverse culture.

The Equality Pledge
“Since joining PEM in October 2017, I have been given endless opportunities to develop professionally, technically and personally, whilst being fully supported by the partner group. PEM is progressive, inclusive and an enjoyable place to work whilst ensuring its staff maintain a healthy work life balance.”
Jemma Gibbons-Riddell

Partner

“I like that the company is big enough to offer variety and structure to its trainee programs, but also small enough to feel personal. This ‘best of both worlds’ approach has been perfect for me so far – I’ve already learnt so much both in the office and at college.”
Rachel Blunt

Manager

“Since joining PEM from Hills Road, I have seen the exposure and insight at an early stage of my career that I would not have imagined. The support I have received from PEM particularly within my team has been exceptional, making it a pleasure to work for PEM. Although it is challenging it is also equally rewarding.”
Harriet Jones

Assistant Manager
