FDM Group expands with new residence in the thriving City of Leeds

LEEDS, U.K. - March 31, 2015 - PRLog -- Britain’s leading IT graduate employer, FDM Group, has announced its expansion in the North of England with a new residence in Leeds at No.1 Whitehall, in the heart of the city’s business district, from 1st June 2015.

FDM Group is renowned for its award-winning Careers Programme, which offers 1,000 graduates and ex-Forces personnel per year the opportunity to undertake specialist training and gain commercial experience within the IT industry, enabling them to become professional IT and business Consultants.

The move illustrates FDM’s ongoing expansion in the UK, with a well-positioned presence across the country. FDM is currently one of Europe’s fastest growing companies with offices and training Academies in London, Glasgow, New York, Frankfurt and Toronto, with Leeds as a new addition. FDM continues to recruit top graduates and ex-Forces personnel from all regions whilst also best serving the individual needs of our clients. The move will allow FDM to expand its client portfolio within the North with a number of existing clients based in and around the city and a better opportunity to engage with graduates and ex-Forces personnel in the region.

Rod Flavell, FDM’s Founder and CEO said, “We are continuously seeking ways to expand the business and Leeds is a great location to support our growth in the North West.  A number of our clients are based in the city and we plan to grow our own business there by placing FDM firmly on the map. By employing local talent from the area and providing the financial services sector with FDM Consultants, we will provide a valuable contribution to the wider community in Leeds.”

With major strengths in financial services, the legal sector and creative industries, Leeds benefits from a diverse economy and is one of the UK’s fastest growing cities. The city offers the largest financial and legal services hub outside London and is one of the leading business locations in Europe with a business base of 105,000 companies and a diverse economy worth over £53 billion per year.

FDM’s state-of-the-art Academy will facilitate a flexible working space which will enable FDM to increase its training capacity to 11 classes at any one time. With a bigger training facility, FDM will be able to engage with and employ more graduates and ex-Forces personnel. The Academy will also provide job opportunities for a number of operational staff as FDM will be hiring for internal staff within Academy, Recruitment and Sales.

FDM has established partnerships with various universities in the region including the University of Leeds and will continue to work with these institutions to create and inspire exciting careers that shape our digital future.
