Sheffield Office
FHP Partnership Ltd has opened an office in the Meadowhall area
of Sheffield, conveniently located within one mile of Junction 34
of the M1.
The opening of this office is the next step in the planned steady growth of the company and reflects the strength of FHP’s order book, particularly in the Sheffield area.
Having an office in this location will aid in the recruitment of engineers from the local area where FHP is actively recruiting both mechanical and electrical senior design engineers and applications are invited from engineers with suitable experience.
This opening of this office is evidence of FHP’s confidence in the continued expansion and future of the company and will open up the market for even more projects in the region.
