The team devotes themselves to their holistic approach to financial services, which is just one of the reasons why Sedulo is uniquely positioned in the sector.
When and Where?
Sedulo has certainly climbed the ranks and evolved massively since starting up in 2009. The initial business concept was born and developed by founder Paul Cheetham-Karcz, who visualised a fast-growing financial company that could make a real change to the financial sector.
Sedulo started out in a small office in Manchester City Centre, but the business’s fast progression allowed them to relocate locally twice in the run-up to 2016, before they landed their current prestigious home at the Regency Club. The team were (and still are) extremely lucky to work, meet and collaborate in this creative, inspiring location. Since then, Sedulo offices have opened up in Leeds, London and more recently – Liverpool. Their Liverpool office has obtained a reputation for being “Britain’s coolest office”. These ideal office locations put this business central to the best opportunities in the industry.
Why?
For over 12 years, the Sedulo team has dedicated itself to providing high-quality financial services, both nationally and internationally. Their goal is to make a real difference for businesses, implementing strategies and services that deliver positive outcomes for each and every client. Sedulo looks closely at unique ways in which to engage with their customers and employees alike, hosting exciting networking events throughout the year. In celebration of their fast-growing business opening new, creative workspace in Liverpool – Sedulo organised a premium launch party.
Furthermore, the Sedulo team prides itself on their work ethic and the world-class people they choose to recruit. By understanding the challenges that come with being a fast-growing business, management is able to provide the team with everything they need to fuel the services they provide.
