Outstanding Employer
At Pedder, we believe that we are only as good as the sum of our parts. This means that, for our business to be as successful as possible, our staff need to be happy, motivated and effective.
It is therefore incumbent upon the management team to ensure that working practices, environments and expectations facilitate a positive and supportive experience for all involved. We have sought to provide our staff with everything they need to succeed and flourish within the Pedder family. We do not rest on our laurels either - we are always reviewing and updating our approach in line with staff feedback.
Our people make us who we are. At Pedder, our staff don’t just work for the business, the business has to work for them too.
See what our colleagues say about working at Pedder:
Alex Astleford“I began working for Pedder in 2018 as a graduate. What brought me to Pedder was a combination of being a high performing family company, along with specialising South East London. I started my journey in Sydenham as a lettings negotiator followed by transferring to the sales team after which I have moved to operate the Brockley Office. Pedder has given me a clear route to operating my own office. I have had a fantastic support network ranging from my buddy when I started, my line manager as I progressed and now currently the Managing Director. Pedder is a dynamic company which is currently expanding, there are always fantastic opportunities to achieve and strive towards your career goals.“
