Join Us
With offices in London and Birmingham – and plenty of agile working – we’re one big, talented family. But we’re always looking for people who share our values to join us at Penna and Stafford Long.
What are those values, exactly? Well, we’re accountable. Collaborative. Supportive. Inspiring. It’s how we do some pretty incredible work for some pretty incredible clients. We’ve even picked up a fair few awards along the way. Because no matter if we’re recruiting Chief Executives or crafting innovative graduate campaigns, we develop solutions that find, excite and secure the right people for our clients, smash targets and create noise in the industry.
We’re always looking for new talent. If you don’t see anything that catches your eye, get in touch and send your cv to info@penna.com
Here’s a snippet of some of our award-winning work.
Our culture
We know that great work doesn’t happen without great people. We’re an open and friendly bunch, so we take the time to share our ideas, knowledge and skills. It’s the kind of place where everyone’s encouraged to speak up, make suggestions and do things just a little bit differently.
We love nothing more than seeing our people grow and flourish. That’s why you’ll have such great learning and development resources at your fingertips. And we always make sure we celebrate one another’s success – whether that’s through the Golden Pear Awards at our annual conference or cheering for our employee and team of the month (complete with confetti cannons, of course). So if you do something great, expect a hearty pat on the back.

We offer a whole range of benefits from day one. You can have them all, or just choose those best suited to your lifestyle.
Ways of working
