I N V E S T I N G I N YO U R F U T U R E OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

WHO WE ARE

We embrace innovation and look to challenge what may be viewed as old hat. We believe that you can help us do this through your fresh outlook, skills and enthusiasm, helping to drive our successful business forward.

We have been providing expertise and imparting local property market knowledge since 1847. We are one of the oldest and largest established firms of chartered surveyors, auctioneers and property agents in the South West.

In return, we invest in your future by teaching you the intricate art of surveying. Passing down knowledge and helping you develop the necessary skillset to be the best to serve our industry, in whichever sector.

Our strong reputation in the West Country has been earned as a result of the professionalism, expertise and client relationships acquired through the years.

We continue to provide advice and support through the ever-changing challenges and opportunities our clients face.

As a firm, we continue to ‘invest in the best’ by inviting you to join our journey, started by our predecessors 175 years ago, helping us to continue successfully for the next 175 years and beyond.

We have been a part of the rural community for generations and pride ourselves on serving it.

U N D E R G R A D U AT E P L A C E M E N T The successful candidate will work alongside our surveyors who are experts in their field. Undergraduates will assist with tasks such as writing reports, mapping and planning applications to name just a few, all whilst getting office experience and working in the South West countryside. The team work cohesively to ensure all clients are receiving the best service.

S O, W H Y G T H ?

As a firm there is no area of the rural environment we do not cover.

Whilst with us, you will experience the diverse range of departments we have as well as learning a range of specialist skills.

We will develop your professional knowledge and also your network with vendors, purchasers and clients; essential for professional development. There are opportunities to liaise on behalf of clients to government bodies, utility companies and to communicate with potential clients at county shows and at Sedgemoor Livestock Market.

Not only will we support you in furthering your education, our placement provides real-life skills required as a working professional; such as communication, office skills and an understanding of the working environment. This holistic approach means you have a vital foundation of skills to enter the professional world of work upon leaving university.

The placement year has provided a fantastic opportunity to apply technical knowledge learned in the lecture theatre into the professional working environment whilst developing a further understanding. Being part of a team with rural expertise, experience and diverse departments, together with a fun working environment, has made my time with GTH first-class and I am very much looking forward to where this experience takes me. ~ Mollie Gillard, Undergraduate Placement

G R A D U AT E R E C RU I T M E N T We provide the opportunity for graduates to apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to day-to-day tasks chartered surveyors face. By working in one of our specialist departments, we assist in furthering your progress by providing you with high-quality experience and supporting you in developing your knowledge as you work towards your Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyor membership and passing your Assessment of Professional Competence.

AGRICULTURE

RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL

We have been providing professional advice to the West Country’s agricultural community for generations, and give you the opportunity to be part of that.

We are proud to be considered as leading advisors in sales and letting of all types of residential property in the South West.

As part of the GTH programme you will be working on a wide range of projects and professional services such as compulsory purchase, compensation, red book valuations and landlord and tenant matters, just to name a few.

You also have the unique opportunity to train to become an auctioneer.

We support clients thoroughly through condition reports, homebuyer reports, valuations, building surveys and matrimonial valuations.

Our commercial team offer advice over a range of services to include investment, development, leases, sales and acquisitions.

From my experiences, I believe the graduate programme offered at GTH presents fantastic scope for anybody wishing to pass their APC at the earliest opportunity.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT Our specialist planning department offers expert advice for clients looking to sell or develop all types of land and buildings.

We cover all areas of planning applications across Mendip, North Somerset and Sedgemoor.

As a graduate, there are opportunities to gain comprehensive experience in areas such as agency, valuation, planning and specialist areas including listed buildings, drawing and design or strategic land.

B E YO N D T H E O F F I C E LOCAL EVENTS & SPONSORSHIP Our offices regularly sponsor local events and charity fundraisers.

We’re proud to be involved in our local communities and have recently sponsored a number of sporting events, several eat:Festivals across Devon and Somerset and we regularly support local sport clubs and schools.

We also host coffee mornings, cake sales and charity auctions.

SUPPORTING AIR AMBULANCE CREWS

OUR ENVIRONMENT

We are proud to be supporting our local air ambulance crews in Dorset, Devon and Somerset via our firm’s Charitable Trust and staff efforts this year.

We are proud to be partnering with Creating Tomorrow’s Forests. CTF ‘s efforts in reforesting have helped to achieve net-zero sustainability targets whilst creating thriving forest ecosystems.

To show our support, we pledged a £2,500 donation to the Devon Air Ambulance, which went towards their ‘£10k in 3 Days’ campaign at the Devon County Show.

Then, four members of staff took on the 55 mile Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge for the Somerset & Dorset Air Ambulance and raised over £3,200 between them.

So far we have funded as many new trees as we have employees and will continue a programme of tree planting with CTF into the future. This, combined with our involvement in the natural capital and sustainability sectors, is another step in helping to build our carbon off-setting and sustainability plan.
