Our culture
We are a growing business with big ambitions and our collegiate environment means we all work together to get the best possible results for both the firm and our clients. In a highly regulated business, we strive to attain the highest ethical and professional standards supported by our strong internal culture.
Nurturing isn’t a word usually associated with investment banking.
But it is why we're different. It's the reason why our clients choose and stick with us to help them grow their business.
Growing with and for our clients
We are a growing business with big ambitions and our collegiate environment means we all work together to get the best possible results for both the firm and our clients.
We put long-term success above short-term gain, helping good companies succeed and delivering outstanding results.
Developing our team
We recognise that we are only as good as the people we employ, thus we continually invest in our staff, and even in adverse market conditions we are committed to developing the next generations.
By focusing on employing top talent, encouraging our people to ask questions, test opinions and develop alternative ideas and solutions, we are able to create an agile workforce that can make decisions quickly and react to rapidly changing market conditions.
Succession Planning Approach
Peel Hunt has a structured succession plan to ensure leadership continuity by identifying and developing internal talent for key roles, reducing disruption from unexpected departures.
Senior Management Succession: The process includes assessing current leaders, identifying future talent, developing skills through training and mentoring, and continuously monitoring progress and readiness.
Board Succession: The Board has a contingency plan for both short-term coverage and long-term succession. The Nomination Committee manages appointments, using open advertising or external advisers, and selects candidates based on merit, experience, and diversity. Board evaluations help identify future leadership needs and refine selection criteria.
We live by our values
As a firm, we have four principles that guide our daily actions. They are defined to help us achieve our purpose of guiding and nurturing people through the evolution of business.

Empower each other
We have a supportive culture where employees feel valued and respected.
Only accept excellence
We explore, evolve and seek excellence on every level.
Do the right thing
We act with integrity for our employees, our clients and for our community.
Hear from the team
Peel Hunt is a great balanced place to work. I’m given the independence to work as I like while always feeling supported.
Before coming here, I underestimated Peel Hunt’s capabilities. We should do more to tell the world how great we are!
The culture at Peel Hunt is what really sets us apart. There’s just a general recognition that we’re all rowing the same boat – so when things come together, we all feel like we’ve played our part.
There’s a great family-like atmosphere, good interdepartmental communication and a strong ethos here.
There is a fantastic team spirit here. Everyone genuinely helps each other to succeed – all the professionalism of an established investment bank, but with a friendly atmosphere and strong values.
Collectively thinking about how we can work better together
We are constantly asking how can we create the best culture and live up to our purpose and values.
Using ‘culture jam sessions’ to get the whole company to participate in new ideas
We invite our employees to have their say on different issues. This worked quickly and effectively to help us define our principles on hybrid working.
