Careers

I have now been with Becketts for two months and have felt totally justified in my decision to accept a position here. I have been made to feel very welcome by all and have received great support from my team as I learn the ropes. Becketts stands outs for its calm, professional and supportive working environment, which is nurtured by senior management. I enjoy coming to work and am eager to see where my career with Becketts will take me.

I joined Becketts a little over two months ago and at first was nervous to change industry but the nerves quickly went away, as on my first day I was welcomed by the whole team. Becketts is such a supportive and friendly environment to work in, especially as there is a very strong culture of looking after the employees from the senior managers.

Becketts support the team through study and career progression, and I am really excited to see where my career progresses within Becketts.

Joining Becketts within days of finishing university I was excited yet slightly nervous given this has been my first experience of full time employment. However, now just over two months in, I feel fully integrated into the private client team, largely down to the positive and encouraging atmosphere that is created around the office.

Personal development and progression opportunities were key factors in my decision to join Becketts. After only a fairly short period of time, I feel through the possibilities to study professional qualifications coupled with a supportive working environment, I am encouraged to perform to the best of my abilities.

I would recommend Becketts to anyone whether they’re someone looking for an entry into the financial services industry or seeking positions with more experience.

I have been at Becketts for just over two months and have been impressed with the positive atmosphere around the office. I had forgotten quite what that feeling was like! Being a newbie at the age of 61 was not something I was looking forward to, but I immediately felt at home as everyone made me feel very welcome and were very supportive.

For a variety of reasons, my first two months here have not been as straightforward as I might have hoped, but Richard Branson’s popular quote ‘Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your clients’ has been in clear evidence. I am firm believer in this approach and it is obvious to me that this is concept is central to the Becketts ethos.

Since joining Becketts two months ago, I already feel as if I am part of the team, having been made to feel welcome from day one and offered support by all of my colleagues - not just those who I work with regularly! Having worked in wealth management previously, I am confident in saying that Becketts are great at what they do – outperforming client expectations is a regular occurrence, everyone goes above and beyond in all aspects of their work! The team here is exactly why I wanted to come and work for a truly independent financial advisers.

I have been at Becketts for two months and am blown away by how welcoming everyone has been. Whenever I have required assistance with anything, there has always been a colleague to help and explain the reasoning behind the process. Being surrounded by professionals with such a strong knowledge base in their field is aiding me to further my learning and pick up information at a remarkable rate. I am already very proud to be working under the Becketts name and can’t wait to progress in my career.

I have never worked with a more friendlier bunch of colleagues before. Becketts is an office with an excellent work atmosphere and a work ethic common amongst all staff and that is clients come first.

Everyone at Becketts has made me feel very welcome. I have been particularly impressed by the supportive and cooperative environment. The company is professional, yet friendly, and I have already referred a friend for a job opportunity. The client is the focus in everything Becketts does and I’m already proud to be working here

From the moment I accepted my position with Becketts I have been warmly welcomed by all of the staff and made to feel a valued part of the team.

The Kibworth office is a lovely place to work and I have been impressed with the time, care and attention the team have shown to me in order to make me feel settled and empowered in my role.

Professional and friendly, I couldn’t ask for a nicer place to work. I recommend Becketts to others considering a career in the Financial Services without reservation.

Returning to Becketts after completing my final year at university has proven to be a great decision.

Working with a team of likeminded individuals who consistently aim to improve, makes for a work place with an abundance of job satisfaction. The work you do is appreciated by your colleagues and support is always offered. For these reasons I couldn’t recommend Becketts highly enough.

I've been at Becketts for just over 2 months now and already feel part of the team. The advantage of working in an open plan office is that everyone interacts with everyone else and when the team is as welcoming and friendly as the staff here, that can only be a good thing. I must also say that having a Managing Director, Ian White, who is so focused on the wellbeing and happiness of his staff is refreshing in a day and age of fine margins and pushing for profitability.

Having friendly staff is backed up by the professionalism of the company as well and having offices to reflect this. The offices are something to be proud of and because of this we hope clients will want to come and conduct their meetings in them. Studying for further qualifications is actively encouraged and this has resulted in a support staff almost as qualified as the advisers they are supporting. This shows me the company truly believes in trying to improve standards within the industry.

I feel very happy here and, within two months, I already know this is definitely a company I want to be at for the long term.

I joined Becketts as a Senior Consultant in the Private Client team August 2018, having previously worked for a number of smaller IFA firms in the Suffolk area.

I have found the environment to be supportive, positive and friendly. There is a real emphasis on ?team?, with open communication between all areas of the business.

Management constantly seeks both client and employee feedback to continue to drive improvement, and I am certain that this positive ethos is apparent to our clients.

Part of the reason for me joining Beckett Financial Services was the prospects they offer and the chance to really develop myself.

As well as that, since being here I have realised what a really positive atmosphere there is around the office.

I would recommend anyone looking to move forward in their career in a professional and friendly environment to apply here.

I joined Becketts in February 2018 and this move to a Professional Company made me realise I should have done it a long time ago!

I was made to feel extremely welcome on my first day and have been made to feel at home and part of the team, with everyone being so helpful and friendly. It is a pleasure and delight to work with a mixed group of people of all levels and ages.

I would not hesitate in recommending Becketts to anyone, the level of support, training and benefits are second to none.

Coming into an industry of which I had no knowledge or background, I was somewhat apprehensive. However, from the day I started, there has been warmth and encouragement which has driven me to learn more, and strive to always better myself.

Even though I have little experience, my work is highly valued. Everyone is made to feel appreciated. Training and support is exceptional, and there is always someone to help.

I can strongly say that I have been given the best start to my career within the financial sector.

After completing my A levels I chose to begin full time work at Becketts over other options such as going to study at university.
