Rural Management | Salisbury

Since qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor, Savills has allowed me to progress to Director at my own speed - rather than being held back by a 'time served' mentality.

Tim Birley, Director

Strategic Facilities Management Advisor | Finsury Circus

I initially missed the camaraderie of being in the Army, but after changing jobs regularly I felt having joined Savills I've found my spiritual home.

Initiatives like the Savills 'look at life' work experience programme gives both parties a chance to understand the types of roles available in property, and to gauge whether an individual ight be well-suited to a role in our organisation.

Savills has been incedibly supportive in my career switch. They are the only firm in the industry that are actively seeking out of service leavers because they recognise the wealth of talent that a career in the forces gives people.
