JLL helps owners, occupiers and investors of all sizes make the right decisions beyond simply buying, selling, leasing and investing in property.
During 2018, the company completed 37,500 leasing transactions for landlord and tenant clients, representing 1.07 billion square feet of space and provided capital markets services for $179 billion of client transactions in 2018. In the UK JLL has over 3,000 members of staff in 15 commercial office locations and a 2018 turnover of £404.2m.
JLL has won numerous awards and recognitions which reflect the quality of services it provides to clients, the integrity of the people, and desirability as a place to work. JLL believes that embracing diversity, inclusion and equality creates a welcoming workplace culture and ensures it attracts the brightest talent focused on innovative and creative solutions for clients. Of all its accomplishments, JLL takes pride in the excellence of its work, the opportunities for personal growth it provides to its people, and the contributions made to communities.
JLL has also been recognised as one of the Top 10 employers in the UK who have taken the most action on the issue of social mobility in the workplace. JLL was ranked 4th in the Top 75 employers in the Social Mobility Employer Index 2019 for its extensive skills and education work with young people, delivered through its Communities programme, and for recruiting graduates from a range of over 20 universities. The company has also adopted the One+1 work experience programme, a Social Mobility Foundation initiative that means for every young person with connections to the industry, JLL will also offer experience to a young person with no connections to real estate.
Working together we want to create sustainable workplaces, buildings and cities. In doing so, our aim is to build a better tomorrow for our clients, our people and our communities.
