Manchester Student Joins Leading Property Consultancy

A leading property consultancy has shown its commitment to the next generation of talent by welcoming a record number of graduates and placement students into the business.

Fisher German has hired 34 graduates this year, along with 10 staff on placement, across its 27 offices around the country in a range of disciplines.

The firm is making a concerted effort to find young talent and bring them through the company, which includes hiring graduates from all sorts of backgrounds.

One such placement student is Ella White, who is working within Fisher German’s commercial team at its Manchester office.

Ella is studying real estate and urban planning at the University of Manchester and said that she was keen to undertake a one-year placement at the firm due to its multidisciplinary service offering.

She said: “I’m very pleased to be completing my placement year at Fisher German and am enjoying my role so far.

“Learning a new role can be challenging at times, but everyone is very supportive and is more than happy to answer any questions, so I’ve been able to learn so much already – I’m absolutely loving it.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to gain hands-on experience that I wouldn’t get at university, and I’ve already been able to assist with both inspections and valuations and gain knowledge on the different methods used.

“Being a multi-disciplinary firm with such varied specialisms means that I’ll get exposure to a lot of different areas of the business which will help me make a more informed decision about my career path in the future.

“I really couldn’t recommend a placement at Fisher German more. Everyone is so lovely and there is a great team spirit within the office.”

Andrew Bridge, Managing Partner at Fisher German, started as a graduate himself before working his way up to the top of the firm and has always encouraged staff to realise their ambitions at the company.

He said: “At Fisher German, we are committed to improving our colleagues’ career prospects by offering clear pathways for progression and supporting them with important qualifications.

“I know first-hand that you can go far at Fisher German if you put the work in, and this is still true today.

“If graduates have the drive and the attitude to succeed, they will do so at Fisher German, and our record intake this year underlines our commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent.”
