Walker Crips

Walker Crips Financial Planning runs an internship in partnership with the University of York, marking five years running as of March 2025 according to both the firm's own account and independent local reporting. Placements run roughly a year and are based out of the firm's York office; several past interns have gone on to permanent roles in report writing and paraplanning. The firm separately runs a Graduate Training Programme as a distinct entry route into the wider business. As of this review, Walker Crips lists no open positions on its careers page: both routes run on an ad hoc recruiting cycle rather than a fixed annual application window, so a candidate has to watch the page directly rather than plan around a set deadline.

Walker Crips traces its roots to 1914, when the stockbroking firm Weddle Beck & Co was founded, merging into Walker Crips in 1966; its own company history puts more than a century of continuous operating history behind the brand. After 30 years as a listed plc, the firm was taken private in 2026 by its long-standing Singaporean shareholder PhillipCapital, a transition its history page confirms and The Armchair Trader reported independently at the time. The firm also runs an in-house fintech subsidiary, EnOC Technologies, building cloud-based regtech tools it sells to the wider financial services industry rather than keeping the technology in-house only. For a candidate, going private means fewer public financial disclosures to research ahead of interview than a still-listed peer, while the PhillipCapital backing brings the capital the firm says it now intends to put into technology and services.

Not right now. Walker Crips has no internship or graduate roles listed today; new postings appear here as the firm opens them.

Applications to Walker Crips go through the firm's own careers site, one application per posting, each expecting a CV and cover letter written for that role.
