MARCH has opened a new regional hub at Meadowhall Business Park in Sheffield, marking a major investment in Yorkshire’s growing economy and reinforcing the company’s commitment to expanding its northern operations. The new site consolidates the company’s former Chesterfield and Leeds offices, bringing teams together under one roof to create a collaborative environment designed for innovation, training and growth.
With excellent transport links via train, tram, bus and road, the location provides easy access for staff and customers across the region. The modern facility includes dedicated meeting rooms and a large test space for hands-on technical work, all designed to enhance the employee experience and support delivery for customers.
MARCH’s CEO Christopher Kehoe said: “This move represents a significant investment in both our people and the region. Bringing our teams together in Sheffield gives us the opportunity to collaborate more closely, share ideas and strengthen our culture. It’s about creating an environment where talent can grow and where innovation happens naturally.”
Digital expertiseThe new office reflects MARCH’s continued investment in people and capabilities across the North. Sheffield is recognised as a centre of excellence for engineering and technology education, producing highly skilled graduates across a range of disciplines. Its strong academic base and established industrial links provide MARCH with access to a deep pool of technical talent, reinforcing the company’s commitment to developing digital expertise in the region.
The Sheffield hub will also support the company’s newly launched digital apprenticeship programme, which has been designed and fully funded by MARCH to address the national shortage of automation and control systems skills. Delivered through the MARCH Academy, the initiative provides a structured training route that blends academic study with practical application.
Members of the 2025 apprenticeship intake will be based at the new office, combining academic study with hands-on project experience under the guidance of experienced mentors. The programme forms part of MARCH’s wider strategy to develop future-ready skills and create a consistent training pathway across its regional network.
Mr Kehoe added: “We believe this investment allows us to serve our customers more effectively. The Sheffield hub connects our expertise across the North, helping us deliver faster, more consistent results and giving customers direct access to the full range of our capabilities.”
The opening of the Sheffield hub underlines MARCH’s ongoing investment in regional development, helping to create high-quality digital roles and supporting the wider local economy.
