14 | FISHER GERMAN GRADUATE BROCHURE 2021/22
Meet our colleagues I joined Fisher German in Summer 2020, working as part of the Infrastructure Services division located at the Bedford office. Previously, I undertook two summer placements at the Fisher German’s Market Harborough and Ashby offices which provided an excellent insight into the business and experience of the wider surveying industry. My day-to-day work involves liaising with a diverse range of stakeholders to deliver solutions on behalf of a wide range of utility clients. This typically includes engaging with affected parties to discuss planned works, arranging access, and negotiating compensation following completion.

By providing this broad range of work, and actively promoting engagement across all levels of the business, I have found that Fisher German provide a number of excellent opportunities to their graduates including exceptional support through the APC process.
Having stemmed from farming roots, a career in the rural profession has always been an aspiration of mine. I completed an RICS accredited degree at Harper Adams University in Summer 2020 and began my graduate role at Fisher German’s Market Harborough office shortly after. My role comprises a variety of rural professional work, but mainly involves the day-to-day management of several mixed portfolio estates across Leicestershire and its surrounding counties. Typical tasks include dealing with residential, agricultural and commercial tenancy matters, managing property improvements, inspections and re-lettings, undertaking rent reviews, organising refurbishments and maintaining statutory compliance. Fisher German have a designated graduate team who guide you through the APC process and offer individual guidance and support as needed. The structured training programme offers regular progress meetings with your APC mentor, counsellor and doctors. Speaking from personal experience, they have gone above and beyond to ensure I am in the best position possible to succeed and develop professionally.
