Hello, we’re Grosvenor.
We think our UK property business (GPUK) is a really special place to work. So, before we talk graduate programme specifics, here’s a bit about who we are and what’s important to us.
We're about creating great places.
Our focus is on creating great places where communities, businesses and nature thrive. We’ve been developing and managing neighbourhoods for over 300 years, pioneering change and new ways of thinking about property. Our heartland is in London’s West End, and we also invest in neighbourhoods and buildings elsewhere in the UK.
We're part of something much bigger too. Grosvenor’s wider organisation spans urban property, food & AgTech, rural estate management and support for philanthropic initiatives. We’re united by a common goal: to deliver lasting commercial, social and environmental benefit.
We want you to bring everything you are to work.
We may have 340 years of history, but we’re firmly focused on the future.
From progressive environmental action to being at the forefront of community engagement, new ideas and fresh perspectives really matter to us. Did you know everyone at GPUK takes part in our innovation programme?
We welcome open minds and progressive ideas. Most of all, we we want our people to bring everything they are to work.
What it's like to work here.
Well, there’s plenty to talk about. It’s purposeful, whether that’s greening our places in clever ways or engaging meaningfully with local communities.
It’s sociable, in our buzzing café and at our many events. It’s ambitious, which you’ll see in our transformational development projects and investment pipeline. It’s challenging, varied and supportive.
We also enjoy a flexible work environment and, because it’s a family business, we like to think we’re a little less corporate too.
