Horsham MP, Jeremy Quin, meets Schroders Trainees and Apprentices

Jeremy Quin, Member of Parliament for Horsham, met a local group of recruits who are starting a career at one of the largest UK investment management firms, Schroders Investment Management.

Mr Quin toured the Broadlands Business Campus in Horsham on Friday 13 May and spoke with the new joiners who have been recruited for the Schroders Operations Academy via Investment20/20.

The new roles created in Horsham were open to anyone over the age of 18 and not contingent on previous academic performance or professional experience. The roles were filled by working closely with local job centres, colleges, schools and universities, as well as publicising them on social media.

Schroders has recruited 32 trainees and apprentices to work in its IT Hub and Operations Teams at the Business Campus which employees 215 staff in total. The new professionals will be completing a two-year paid placement during which they will benefit from training, networking opportunities and hands-on experience.

Jeremy Quin MP said: “I am delighted Schroders, an internationally renowned firm in an important growth industry, is invested in Horsham and building their presence in our community. I welcome the fact that they are creating quality jobs and, in partnership with Investment20/20, seeking to fill them through a proactive approach to recruitment, identifying a diverse range of candidates to maximise talent.”
