IES staff and associates

As with any knowledge-based organisation, IES is driven by the skills and expertise of its staff. IES is multidisciplinary in nature, and its staff draw on a wide range of backgrounds, both academic and more practical in nature. We operate high standards of recruitment and IES is an Investor in People, committed to providing skill and career development to all our staff. IES staff also work with a large number of associates and partner organisations in the UK and across Europe, drawing on their complementary skills, and local or specialist knowledge.
