Our strategy is to deliver on our commitment to our clients and to support them in their sustainable growth. Founded in September 2007 to provide a different style of broking, we have sought to create real and lasting relationships with our clients – priding ourselves on being straight-talking, loyal and innovative in addressing their needs. We also want our staff to feel part of a team that seeks and nurtures their ideas, trusts in their convictions and encourages their development.

Community and charitable giving |
The Liberum Foundation was set up to provide support and financial assistance for the disadvantaged in London, with a focus on young people and improving their prospects. Through the Liberum Foundation, Liberum currently supports two anchor charities, School Home Support (SHS) and Place2Be. SHS is a charitable organisation that works with schools to increase children’s attendance and develop their skills. It provides economic and pastoral support to families experiencing hardship, relieving some of the stresses that can impact a child’s education. Place2Be is a children’s mental health charity that provides mental health support in schools through one-to-one and group counselling, using tried and tested methods backed by research. They also offer expert training and professional qualifications. |

Healthy and inclusive culture
|
We believe that diversity brings benefits that enables us to deliver on our strategy and support our clients more effectively, whilst adding more value. The wellbeing of our employees is of the utmost importance, and we adapted successfully to the challenges that the pandemic brought. In light of this we run regular employee surveys, carried out by an independent third party, to understand the changing circumstances and desires of our workforce to ensure the most valuable work environment for the company. We have also introduced a new governance structure that encourages increased coordination and integration of teams as well as ownership of the business across all management levels. |
