Fairway Achieves STEP Gold Employer Partner Accreditation

Fairway is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious STEP Gold Employer Partner accreditation, recognising the firm’s strong commitment to developing its people and supporting the next generation of industry professionals.

The STEP Employer Partner accreditation is a globally recognised framework that highlights firms demonstrating a long-term, structured approach to employee development. Accreditation requires organisations to evidence clear career pathways, robust support for professional qualifications, and a strong culture of learning and progression. Gold status is awarded to firms that go above and beyond in these areas, showcasing excellence in talent development and leadership.

A key contributor to Fairway’s achievement is its Promise Programme, which combines professional and personal development within a performance focused structure. What sets the Promise Programme apart is its emphasis on personalised development from the beginning of an employee’s career. By fostering an environment where challenges are embraced as opportunities for growth, the programme supports individuals in reaching their full potential.

In addition, Fairway’s bespoke Management Development Accreditation Programme further demonstrates the firm’s commitment to strengthening leadership capability. Designed to enhance practical skills and knowledge, the programme equips managers with the tools needed to implement best practice and support their ongoing professional growth.

Commenting on the achievement, Matt Ebbrell, Chief Operating Officer, said:

“This accreditation is a significant milestone for Fairway, and we are delighted to have achieved STEP Gold Employer Partner status. Being recognised by STEP reinforces the strength of our development programmes and our continued focus on supporting our colleagues throughout their careers. It also reflects Fairway’s ongoing dedication to fostering a culture of growth, innovation, and excellence, ensuring both its people and its business continue to thrive.”
