Property and construction consultancy Ridge has expanded its Bristol office further with the appointment of three graduates.
James Weaver, Fred Lee and Robin Badham arrive as part of the continued growth of Ridge in the South West. They will expand its project management, engineering and building surveying offering in the region. Ridge also has plans to recruit a further five people to the Bristol office over the next 12 months. 
James joins as an assistant project manager having completed a degree in Property Development and Planning and a masters in Construction Project Management at UWE.
Fred, a graduate of Anglia Ruskin University with a degree in Business Management, joins the business as a trainee electrical engineer, while Robin joins the Ridge building surveying team, following a degree in the subject. He has previous experience at trainee and assistant level at other consultancies in Bristol.
James said: “I wanted to be part of a team that is engaged and passionate about all areas of project management and construction, and is consistent in delivering outstanding levels of client service. Ridge is an award-winning construction consultancy with an established base, yet it still retains the vibrancy of a start-up business, with high growth and excellent clients.”
Bristol-based partner Greg Aston added: “The three new appointments are very important to us, as they not only form part of our business strategy to continue office growth and diversify our team over the next 12-18 months, but to also support the construction industry regionally by investing in new talent.
“We strongly believe in robust apprenticeship and graduate programmes to nurture and develop talent from the ground up, so that the demand for a specialist labour force can be met in the future.”
Founded in Oxford in 1946, Ridge now employs more than 600 people across its 10 UK offices offering a broad range of services spanning project & cost management, surveying, architecture, design and engineering to health & safety, expert witness and property consultancy.
