Graduates Embark on Their Careers at High Force Research
As part of the company values in investing in talent of the future, High Force Research Ltd has recently recruited a further three graduates to join the team from North East Universities.
The newly created graduate roles will support the business growth strategy over the next 12 months, and adds to the three graduates recruited earlier this year.
Erin McLaughlin graduated this summer from Newcastle University with a Masters Chemistry (MChem) where she focussed on inorganic, organic and physical chemistry; Anya Nelson completed her studies at the University of Northumbria and Rebecca Mott has graduated from Durham University, all at Masters level.
Rebecca commented “I have been working at HFR for about two months now and have found it to be a great platform to use and develop the skills I gained at university. The training has been great and I have already progressed from the training with more experienced chemists to working more independently on projects. HFR is a very friendly place to work and in the short time I have been working here, I have made great relationships with everyone and have been able to work confidently. It has been the perfect company to begin work as a graduate.”
Jane Klotz, HR Manager, added: “Chemical and life sciences is a growing job market and recruiting talent for the future is a key strategy at HFR to support the business growth through succession planning. Having recruited 3 graduates earlier this year, it is such a positive news story to be able to provide an additional three job opportunities for graduates. This recruitment also allows us to progress existing staff through their career development and expand the skill sets within the company. We greatly benefit from being based in the North East where there is a lot of opportunity for graduates to move on from their studies into the workplace.”

We initially came because of the printable electronics centre but access to a highly skilled semi conductor workforce in the North East has been a key factor in us staying and growing here, as well as the value for money office space and the access to funding.
The proximity to the universities and the infrastructure are very important factors. Ultimately having a presence in Europe is very valuable to us and we intend to stay at NETPark for many years to come.
CPI has developed a specialist offering to support SMEs looking to develop their printable electronics applications and our partnership with Business Durham has been instrumental in attracting several SMEs to locate here in the region.
The quality of the facilities at NETPark and the attitude of staff is first class. It has a really dynamic, innovative atmosphere.
It fits perfectly for us that we’re surrounded by like-minded companies at NETPark. There are a number of highly skilled people in the area who can help us grow our business. The facilities and services offered by NETPark are first class, they make office life simple and engaging.
Access to quality facilities was one of the main drivers for deciding to locate the business at the NETPark. We have been able to use this as a launch pad to link into support from CPI and world-class expertise from Durham University.
