Led by our dedicated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Group, this runs throughout our entire employee experience – from recruitment to career development. By celebrating diversity in all its forms, along with the uniqueness of our colleagues, we unlock creativity and innovation, as well as better reflecting the communities that we work in.
What our people say
"AHR encouraged me to follow my passion in sustainable and environmental design. I was supported through my Passive House Designer certification, which I’ve been able to apply on REA projects. There is a great interactive company culture where knowledge is shared across the business. I have enjoyed the range of challenges presented to me and have continued to learn and grow as an architect since joining AHR 5 years ago."
Andrew Wilson, Associate
"I was initially drawn to AHR by the opportunities presented, not only in developing my career but also to develop the landscape offer. Our office is a very open, generous space and there are a lot of occasions for us to socialise both inside and outside of work. You’ll find us in the heart of Bristol and what I find most thrilling about the job is the chance to make real positive change in the city where I live and work and across the UK."
David King, Associate, Landscape Design
"My experience so far has been really positive and I'm grateful to my colleagues who throughout my Part I have played a key role in preparing me for my apprenticeship. By giving me support, guidance and creating a friendly and collaborative atmosphere to learn in, I feel confident in completing my apprenticeship with AHR."
