About Recruitment In Stevenage
Situated in the county of Hertfordshire, approximately 35 miles north of London, Stevenage is known for being the first ever ‘new town’ – a series of towns built near London after the World War II.
Known to many as the UK’s ‘Space City’, nearly a quarter of the satellites orbiting the Earth were build in Stevenage, at the Airbus Defence and Space site. In 2016 Tim Peake controlled the ExoMars Rover from the town. Also home to other international organisations, such as Glaxo Smith Kline and MBDA, Stevenage offers a unique balance of urban and rural living.
