Our values

Evenlode @Stonesfield looking South

Evenlode understands the importance of being a trustworthy and conscientious partner to our clients, suppliers, and wider society.

We embed our social and environmental impact considerations in the way we manage both our company and our funds. We also believe that a consistent, high-quality service is best delivered to clients by a stable and collaborative team that finds Evenlode an enjoyable and rewarding place to work.

Therefore, continuous investment in our people and infrastructure is key to our success, as is cultivating our business partner relationships. These ambitions are reflected by our three core company values detailed below.

    Evenlode became employee owned in 2013, putting the business in the hands of our people and underlying our commitment to long termism in everything we do.

    The Evenlode Employee Ownership Trust has total control of the company now and for the long-term. Beneficiaries of the Trust are all Evenlode Partners that have been a permanent employee for three years or more. The Trust does not run the company itself. Instead, it appoints a Board of Directors to run the company in the best interests of its Partners. The Board is answerable to the Trust.
