      Well at the University department that Im part of there are about 25 other researchers currently.
      And at Sainsbury’s I’m part of a smalle team of 6 – which is then part of a bigger team of about 30. But the whole property division which we’re all part of is about 200 or so and then the whole business employs over 160,000 people.

      Hi Gymnast2213 🙂

      When I worked in industry I was part of a team of about 20 in an office of over 200 people! When you work on projects in Civil Engineering you often get lots of people from different teams like water, highways, structures and geotechnics involved so you’re always meeting new people!

      Now I’m in research, I’m the only one working on my topic (which can sometimes be quite scary!) but I’m in an office of about 20 people and thre’s a group of 5 of us that work on similar subjects 🙂

      At the moment, while I am doing my PhD, I am in a research institute of around 100 people.

      When I was working in the oil & gas industry, the company had 80,000 people all over the world!
