The Castlefield story began in 2002, when a small team of colleagues decided to found a business that could provide a truly personal service.
From day one, we wanted to be a business with clients at its centre and one that could also give all colleagues the chance to share in its future.
Over the last twenty years, we’ve grown and joined forces with two very well-established ethical advice businesses.
Today, we're an award-winning, employee-owned ethical investment and advice group that's part-owned by a grant-making charitable foundation.
We can quite confidently say we’re "the most firmly established ethically focused advice business in the UK’"

What makes Castlefield special
We believe Castlefield is a special place to work. Here are some of the reasons why...
View our Net Zero Roadmap
Our net zero roadmap was produced in partnership with independent consultants, Positive Planet. This report provides an outline of why we're taking action and gives a breakdown of our current baseline emissions, together with our net zero targets. The data is then used to identify the roadmap of steps we're committed to take, in order to achieve our net zero targets.
You can download a copy of the report at the link below.

We think our business is unique. From day one, the people involved in our day-to-day operations have held a majority stake in our business, alongside a major grant-making charitable foundation. This structure has helped us to define our values, predicated on long-term sustainable growth, independence, innovation, respect and responsibility; all designed to create an environment in which colleagues, as co-owners, can achieve their full potential.
