What are you waiting for?

GFW is a regional property consultancy providing expert advice to the Residential, Commercial, Development and Rural property sectors.

We operate across six offices in the Northern counties including Northumberland, County Durham and Yorkshire, however, we deliver work on a national scale, providing a scope of services wider than most national firms with a client focus and flexibility of a regional business.

We pride ourselves in the success we deliver for our clients; this wouldn’t be possible without our excellent team of over 100 experts from partners through to graduates as well as our business support team. We have evolved from a family run firm and into a corporate business due to constant innovation. This has given us the foundations to grow across all of our services as well as geographically, in turn, creating more opportunities for our team to develop their career aspirations.

We are invested in looking after our people, and we offer a range of career programmes as well as an achievable rewards and recognition policy and a business support network.

What our team say

I chose George F. White following my graduation because of the range of work carried out by the business. I have improved my practical knowledge of planning by being involved in a wide range of projects

Hannah Wafer, Senior Planning Consultant

Everyone within George F. White is a critical and valuable part of the business and without whom we would not be able to deliver for our clients.

Robyn Peat, Chairman

The team at George F. White is both dynamic and forward thinking which hugely appeals to me. As a graduate I was instantly recognised as team member and given responsibility from the off–set which allowed me to develop much faster than I had anticipated.

Caroline Horn, Partner

When I started with the firm as an APC surveyor I was immediately thrown in the deep end, with responsibilities in excess of my peers in larger firms. This gave me the opportunity to stretch my wings, find out what I was good at and what interested me. As a result of this, I had plenty of variety for my APC, passing first time.

Richard Garland, Managing Partner

It's not all work!

Whilst your focus will undoubtedly be on the potential role within GFW it would not be without stating that given you will spend a considerable amount of time with your colleagues that you time with us isn't all work, work, work.

The workplace is no longer just the simple nine to five and we understand that relationships between individuals in the workplace are not just professional but often social. Appreciating that people who socialise and network together will undoubtedly work and collaborate at a much higher level and therefore we actively encourage our teams to do just that.

Founded in 1979 the business has firm roots in the rural and residential sectors but the modern GFW is a growing and diverse business providing professional services across the residential, commercial, rural and development sectors.
