What Is It Like?
“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
University
“Since I joined as a graduate I have experienced a wide variety of work. I spend two days a week at Sedgemoor where I can be found practicing my auctioneering skills on the calf and barren cow sections, and occasionally the pigs. The remainder of my time is spent in the Honiton office where I assist with agency, valuation, planning and rural grant matters in order to work towards my RICS and CAAV qualifications.”

“Since I have been at GTH I have never had a dull day having been involved with a variety of agency work, planning, valuation, grant schemes and landlord and tenant work, to name a few. GTH have been excellent in supporting me through my APC where we have regular graduate meet-ups and one-to-one sessions with our counsellor to ensure we are on track and supporting each other.”
Annie Haxforth
Graduate Surveyor Royal Agricultural University
“I have been involved in a variety of work. I can be found in the office, producing farm business tenancies or drafting valuation reports. Or I could be involved in the preparation of our monthly collective sales and operating our online bidding system, Marteye. I am also involved in the private treaty sales of dairy cattle and in our Saturday dairy market.”

It’s not all work and no play. There is a thriving sporting scene at GTH, with opportunities to join colleagues in the football, cricket and hockey teams. You’ll find most offices arrange regular get-togethers and our biennial GTH Partner’s Party is legendary!
Our Community
As part of the fabric of the West Country for so many years, we feel it’s only right to put something back into our local communities.
Whether it’s cycle rides or sports challenges, dragon boat racing, bake sales or personal goals (like marathons or Three Peaks), our staff love to get involved and raise money for good causes or offer their time.
