RBG London Launches 16-18 Work Experience Program

This summer the RBG London Office hosted 11 work experience students from local schools. Earlier this month, a group of budding engineers from a local Comprehensive School joined our office for two weeks to find out what it takes to deliver the world-class engineering projects here at RBG.
