The Bridge has moved

June 9th, 2011

The Bridge has moved this week into outstanding newly appointed offices at Toronto Square in the heart of Leeds’ business district. One minute from the main east coast rail station and close to all the city’s amenities, the premises meet the highest modern environmental standards. The self-contained floor offers plenty of natural light as well as a selection of private offices for interviews, presentations and client services. In tandem with the latest superfast broadband, there is a skype-ready interview room for lightning face-to-faces, and a flexible and purpose-designed network brings the latest web-based career products to every desk in every room.

Bridge Director Julian Goddard commented:

“After 8 successful years of continuous financial growth, the expiry of our previous lease has at last given us the opportunity to grow in physical terms. With a threefold increase in floor space came the opportunity to incorporate specialist facilities and technologies as well as providing a purpose-designed floor space for our enterprise. A 10 year lease and the trebling of our digital network capacity together represent a major investment for the future. Customers and job seekers alike can take heart from this commitment that we intend to support them with the latest tools for many years to come.”

First Graduate Trainee for The Bridge IT

December 1st, 2010

A new phase in the development of the Bridge begins with the recruitment to the IT team of Claire Fletcher, a Psychology graduate from Leeds University. The Bridge has traditionally employed experienced recruiters and our philosophy of supporting clients with highly capable and knowledgeable consultants is not about to change. However, the hire of top-quality talent straight from university adds a new dimension to the lives of our existing consultants who look forward to the challenge of training and managing Claire and her successors. We see great potential in Claire and look forward to the day when she is mentoring trainees of her own.

Pedro is driven by infectuous enthusiasm and a fascination for the oil industry and we hope the Bridge will prove a perfect home for his energy, drive and ambition.
