Martin studied Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester, graduating in 1989 and in many ways opening up our new office in Manchester brings his career a full circle.

Here at GEA, our customer base and workload has been steadily increasing in Manchester and the North West, and with a number of our engineering and architect partners recently establishing offices in the city, we are pleased to announce we are opening a third office in the UK, on Oxford Street in Manchester.

As we start another year and consider recruitment options I starting wondering whether we could put in a nutshell what the qualities are that we look for, particularly in new graduates, which is where we find most of our staff.
