HONOURS have been heaped on award winning Swindon-based consulting engineers Halcrow Group, based in Chiseldon.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Electrical Engineers have endorsed and acknowledged the company, a leading global consultancy for the planning, design and supervision of development, with accredited status for its graduate training programme.

This is in recognition of their commitment to the training and development of professional engineers for the future.

Halcrow's graduates can now follow a four-year MPDS (Monitored Professional Development Scheme) programme, accredited by the IMechE and the IEE, that will provide them the foundations needed for Chartered Engineer status.
