Both firms share the view that investing in people is paramount to long-term success, and we’re focused on offering a platform to take team training, development and overall employee experience to the next level. We’re also delighted to establish a presence in Oxfordshire, with its innovative growth businesses and expertise in life sciences and emerging technologies. We are incredibly excited about this partnership and warmly welcome the team and its clients to Gravita.”
