Bristol office

Bristol takes its name from the Old English for "place by the bridge" and a millennium after its founding, one of the city's best-known landmarks is still a bridge, in the form of Clifton Suspension Bridge. Almost half a million people live in Bristol, ranking it as the largest city in south-west England. Over 300,000 residents are of working age, contributing to a dynamic talent pool in the area.

Michael Page is a leading Bristol recruitment agency with specialisms in more than ten different sectors that are important to the city's economy. Our experts match talented candidates with compelling career opportunities across disciplines ranging from logistics and procurement, to sales and finance, to technology, engineering and manufacturing, plus many more. We also find experienced individuals to take executive roles, and passionate people for public sector and non-profit positions.

Bristol's architecture is a blend of old and new, with many buildings badly damaged during the second world war. The red-brick University of Bristol marked the centenary of its royal charter in 2009 but has its origins much earlier, in a school founded in 1595. Bristol City Docks are a major local landmark, and Brunel's SS Great Britain serves as a living museum celebrating the history of the steam ship. Just north of the city is the flight museum Aerospace Bristol, which pays homage to the supersonic Concorde which was built there.

The city's engineering and manufacturing heritage is clear to see and Michael Page proudly help to place candidates into highly skilled disciplines where their talents are needed, to ensure Bristol jobs not only contribute to the economy in the short term, but also add new pages to the history books in the years to come.
