MARCH has unveiled a new regional hub at Meadowhall Business Park in Sheffield, signifying a substantial investment in Yorkshire's growing economy and advancing the company's expansion efforts. This new site replaces the former offices in Chesterfield and Leeds, consolidating teams into one location to foster a collaborative environment aimed at innovation, training, and growth.
With convenient transport options including train, tram, bus, and road access, the location is well-placed for employees and customers throughout the region. The modern facility features dedicated meeting rooms and an expansive test space for hands-on technical work, enhancing the employee experience and ensuring efficient service delivery for clients.
Significant investment in regional growth
"This move represents a significant investment in both our people and the region," stated Christopher Kehoe, CEO at MARCH, adding "Bringing our teams together in Sheffield allows for closer collaboration, idea-sharing, and cultural strengthening. It's about creating an environment where talent can grow and where innovation happens naturally."
The establishment of the Sheffield office is part of MARCH's ongoing investment
The establishment of the Sheffield office is part of MARCH's ongoing investment in enhancing both its workforce and capabilities in the North. Sheffield is renowned as a hub for engineering and technology education, producing highly skilled graduates.
The strong academic foundation and established industrial connections provide MARCH with access to a wealth of technical talent, reinforcing its commitment to developing digital expertise in the area.
Launch of digital apprenticeship programme
The new Sheffield hub will also facilitate the company's bespoke digital apprenticeship programme, which MARCH has fully funded to address the national deficit in automation and control systems skills.
Offered through the MARCH Academy, this initiative provides a structured training path combining academic learning with practical application. Apprenticeships for the 2025 intake will be stationed at the new office, mixing academic studies with hands-on project involvement under experienced mentors.
Preparing for future skill demands
Part of MARCH's comprehensive strategy includes developing future-ready skills and establishing a consistent training path across its regional network. "We believe this investment allows us to serve our customers more effectively," stated Christopher Kehoe, adding "The Sheffield hub links our expertise across the North, enabling us to deliver faster, more consistent results and providing clients with direct access to our full range of capabilities."
The opening of the Sheffield hub highlights MARCH's dedication to regional development, contributing to the creation of high-quality digital roles and supporting the broader local economy.
