10 years service for Sort Group staff

Three members of staff from Derby-based property, legal and financial firm, Sort Group, are celebrating a decade of service with the company; the first non-founders of Sort Group to achieve the milestone. 

Carolyn Mars, Group Head of HR, and Emma Brown, Group Head of Marketing, celebrated their 10-year anniversaries on 5 January, followed by Roy Mansell, SortRefer Business Development Manager, on 16 February. Their commitment and contribution to the business has been recognised with a special presentation to mark the occasion.

Sort Group has undergone significant development in the ten years since the three joined; at a time when the business was known as SortRefer. In 2017 SortLegal, a CLC-regulated law firm, launched and in 2024 Sort Legal joined forces with South Shields-based mortgage brokers Hello Mortgage and estate agents, Estatio, to create a new property hub providing home move, legal and ancillary services under one roof.

Commenting on the milestone, Kevin Tunnicliffe, CEO of Sort Group, said:

“Reaching 10 years of service is a remarkable milestone, and it’s even more special when it involves three individuals who have grown alongside the business. Carolyn’s leadership in HR, Emma’s vision in marketing, and Roy’s relentless drive in business development have all contributed to Sort Group’s success. We’re fortunate to have them on our team.”

Managing Director Keith Ahmed added:

“The dedication and expertise shown by Carolyn, Emma, and Roy have been instrumental in our growth over the past decade. They joined us at a critical juncture and have played key roles in shaping the company we are today. We’re incredibly proud to celebrate this achievement with them.”

Carolyn Mars reflected on her journey:

“It’s been an incredible experience to grow with Sort Group. I’m grateful to be part of such a dynamic and supportive team.”

Emma Brown added:

“When I joined Sort Group, I knew it was a company with potential. Ten years later, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and am excited for the future.”

Roy Mansell concluded:

“Working for SortRefer has been both challenging and rewarding. The opportunities I’ve had here are unmatched, and I’m honoured to reach this milestone.”

SortGroup have said they intend to launch a ‘number of other new brands’ in 2025 including Let’s Recruit, a recruitment agency focused on the legal services sector.
