A GRADUATE from Leeds has taken his first step onto the career ladder after joining an award-winning property specialist.
Josh Robinson, who this year graduated with a 2:1 degree in Real Estate and Property Management from Leeds Beckett University, has joined the Bradley Hall graduate programme.
The opportunity will see Josh take up a full-time role within the firm’s Leeds surveying department and undertake his Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) to qualify as a chartered member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Josh will become the latest employee to join the company’s growing West Yorkshire head office in Leeds, which recently saw the team relocate to a new 1,600 sq ft city centre office at 6 Park Place, just a stone’s throw from Park Square.
Speaking about the opportunity, he said: “I am really grateful to be given this opportunity to join Bradley Hall’s graduate programme and to study for my APC qualifications.
“I’d been looking for opportunities to break into the property sector on the run up to graduating and had always had an interest in surveying, so I was delighted when I heard my application to join the company had been accepted once I graduated.
“It's fantastic to have been given the opportunity to not only stay and study in Leeds but also to progress my career here and I can’t wait to meet the team and get to work.”
Since its launch in 1988, Bradley Hall has established a reputation for promoting within and providing graduate opportunities to young people looking to forge a career in the industry.
Neil Hart, Group Managing Director, is just one of the firm’s many success stories, having joined the company in 2000 as a placement student and climbing the ladder to where he is today.
He said: “We take real pride in providing our employees with opportunities to grow and progress and the graduate programme is central to that.
“As someone who joined the company 22 years ago and has been here ever since, it’s fantastic to see graduates such as Josh joining the company and hearing how enthused they are about the opportunities given to them.
“By funding and supporting their APC training with RICS, we’re not only helping our graduates secure the qualifications required to meet the high standards of professionalism required to become a chartered surveyor but also to ensure more young people than ever before are able to break into the industry.
“I think I speak for everyone at Bradley Hall when I say how delighted we are to have Josh on board and wish him all the best for the future.”
