We have always been very conscious of the lack of diversity within our industry and have been determined to create a working environment that welcomes people from all backgrounds and ethnicities. We were absolutely delighted to be able to work with United in Design and offer placements to some wonderful talents. We are lucky enough to have a brilliant designer in our team who we discovered through the initiative and who has continued to demonstrate the amazing determination and talent she impressed us with on our first meeting. United In Design facilitates eminently worthwhile introductions and has given us the opportunity to meet people who have added great value and joy to our Turner Pocock family.

“We at KGD have found the UiD internship programme incredibly beneficial over the last two years and very much hope to be able to continue doing it on a yearly basis.
The internship programme is incredibly well organised. The pool of candidates put forward to us have already been through an initial selection process and as such are all of an incredibly high standard with the skills we need. The interview process was well organised, and it was really interesting to be interviewing along with other companies.
The work UiD are doing is incredibly important and we have really enjoyed being part of it. ”
