Great day at The Christie Charity 7-a-side tournament ⚽️ Solid effort from Team AJ Bell - a step up from last year's semi-final finish, going all the way and win it this time 🏆 More importantly, over £18,000 was raised to support The Christie Charity and their work in cancer research, which is what it’s really all about. Proud to be involved again, especially with the AJ Bell Futures Foundation supporting as a partner sponsor this year. We’re already looking forward to next year - and hopefully defending the title!
We’re excited to share that AJ Bell has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in the Super Large category for 2026 🎉 This recognition reflects the feel‑good culture our people create every day. Thank you to everyone who makes AJ Bell what it is.
Each year, every member of Team AJ Bell is given the opportunity to take paid time away from work to volunteer. In 2025, we’re incredibly proud of the number of hours our team dedicated to giving back to local communities - supporting charities and causes close to their hearts, as well as our partner charities through the AJ Bell Futures Foundation. One of our team members shared: “Being given the time to give back means so much to me and my team. Not only do we get to support people in need and feel good about it, but we also get to spend quality time with colleagues from across the business we might not usually meet. It’s always a highlight of the year for me.” And we’re not slowing down. Our volunteering calendar for this year is already filling up with some exciting new charity partners. Here's a photo of our team volunteering just before Christmas.
Following the success of our previous hackathons, we’re excited to be partnering once again with the University of Salford, supporting future tech talent through a new, technology-driven challenge 🎓💡 Teams of second-year Computer Science students are working in an agile environment to design gamified learning experiences that help young people understand the basics of investing in a simple and engaging way. Last week, our team had the pleasure of reviewing some of the ideas - and we were genuinely impressed by the creativity and innovation on show. It’s great to support emerging tech talent through this partnership, and we came away feeling inspired. 📸 Teams from the University of Salford hackathon
We celebrated an amazing year with Team AJ Bell, as our teams across the country came together for festive celebrations - with Christmas parties held in both Manchester and London. Here are some highlights from our Manchester party: from live music and street-food stalls to a Santa-sleigh photo booth and a DJ that kept everyone dancing into the early hours. A huge thank you to every member of the team for your hard work and contribution to a successful year. It was fantastic to see everyone relax, have fun, and enjoy some feel good time with colleagues. #LifeAtAJBell

Every 3 minutes, someone in the UK dies from a heart or circulatory condition. That's why in February AJ Bell Futures Foundations charity partner, the British Heart Foundation, host Heart Month. In support, we're hosting a series of events for the AJ Bell team, on Wednesday our in-house PT Luke hosted a lunchtime session where we learned simple lifestyle tips for better heart health and enjoyed a heart-healthy lunch together! ❤️
Last week, we wrapped up National Apprenticeship Week on a high with our annual open day! Over 60 students from across the region joined us at our office to hear about our apprenticeships and learnt more about working life at AJ Bell. #lifeatajbell
