The Gender Wage Gap is Still Real

We’re nearly halfway through 2025, and whilst we shouldn’t need to be still having the conversation around the gender wage gap, and how women are kept out of boardrooms and passed over for opportunities, we are. Many businesses shout the words equality and diversity from various rooftops, yet despite these good intentions, these gaps and deficiencies still exist. Let’s be fair, it’s not all doom and gloom. The gender pay gap has been closing year by year, due to changes in legislation requiring businesses with over 250 staff to report on their salaries. There are more women than ever before in senior leadership roles, and whilst we no longer scoff at the idea of women in the boardroom, there’s still work to be done. Here at Sewell Wallis, we like to talk about difficult topics, and we like to get everyone involved in these conversations.

Our 2024 Charity Wrap-up: we did it!

12 months of fundraising. 20 colleagues. Hundreds of miles. Some brilliant donated prizes from local businesses. Nearly 200 baked goods. One broken exercise bike. One (nearly) broken Chloe. Tons of donations from our friends, family and colleagues. Endless gratitude from all of us here at Sewell Wallis. Nearly £5,000 raised to help stop this devastating disease. It’s been a cracking year for our fundraiser for Brain Tumour Research. We could waffle all we want about the amazing things we’ve done, but we thought it was better to let Han tell you what this year has been like, and what it means to her.
