* Earlier this year, Air Products announced plans to relocate from the current Hersham offices in Surrey, UK to a new site. The current building doesn’t align with our sustainability commitments, and it is not feasible to upgrade it to the same standard as modern buildings. The new offices will be located at 1000 Hillswood Park, Chertsey KT16 0PS. The building is set in parkland space with an EPC rating of A and a number of sustainability credentials including solar panels, and air source heat pumps. The move is expected to take place in phases from early 2025.
We work in an environment where diversity is essential, inclusion is our culture, and each person knows they belong and matter.
We invite you to bring your diverse self and creativity to a company reimagining what’s possible. Be part of our growth story and make a difference.
