Graduate Programme

Our two-year graduate programme comprises four six-month seats, each in a different department. You will usually have the opportunity to gain experience in at least two of our offices. At present, we recruit trainees for East Midlands (Leicester, Northampton and Milton Keynes offices) and East Anglia (Norwich and Cambridge offices) separately. This is primarily based on geography and commuting. If East Midlands trainees request a seat in Cambridge, for example, we always try to be flexible.

In some instances, we offer secondments with our clients, where you would work in-house gaining valuable commercial experience.

During the training you will also complete a professional skills course. The core modules and electives are provided by external trainers and take place in either Leicester or Norwich (off site).

We firmly believe in developing your marketing skills early on as part of the training programme. Trainees will attend client events hosted by the firm, such as seminars and seasonal parties, as well as external marketing events and events hosted by our clients. 

A training principal will oversee your training, but you will report directly to a partner or senior fee earner. After three months and again at the end of your seat you will be formally appraised by the partner training you. You will also be appraised by the training principal who will discuss your ambitions and aspirations for the future.
