MARCH has inaugurated a new regional hub at Meadowhall Business Park in Sheffield, signaling a substantial investment in Yorkshire’s burgeoning economy and facilitating the company's ongoing growth.
This new establishment consolidates the operations from the company’s former Chesterfield and Leeds offices into one unified location, fostering a collaborative environment conducive to innovation, training, and development.
Enhanced Accessibility and Facilities
Strategically located with excellent transport links via train, tram, bus, and road, the Sheffield hub offers convenient access for employees and customers throughout the region.
The modern facility is equipped with dedicated meeting rooms and an expansive test area for hands-on technical activities, all designed to improve the employee experience and customer service.
Significant Investment
“This move represents a significant investment in both our people and the region,” stated Christopher Kehoe, CEO at MARCH, adding “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.”

This provides the company with access to a vast pool of technically skilled graduates, reinforcing its dedication to fostering digital expertise in the area.
Newly Launched Digital Apprenticeship Program
