We’ve marked another major milestone in our ongoing expansion in England and Wales with the opening of our new B&P office in Manchester.
A few weeks in, our team are settling in nicely and getting to know the lie of the land…literally.
With our market-leading team already delivering on major projects and plenty of new opportunities on the horizon in the North West and Wales, our Manchester office is perfectly placed.
And with GB Energy opening its head office in the city earlier this year, we’re in a great position to support the UK Government’s green energy mission.
Opportunities
Key projects we already have underway include the Peak Cluster Project, working with a consortium of industry leaders to deliver this major carbon capture project from the Peak District to Ellesmere Port, and the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) from Huddersfield to Marsden with Network Rail.
We have a small team permanently based in Manchester, led by Natalie Reilly, who joined B&P this year from Jacobs, bringing over ten years of industry experience. We plan to grow the onsite team over the next six months.
The office is also a great base for our specialists from across the wider business to work from, in particular our innovative Land Referencing team led by Saffron Sergison, Associate Director, who has overseen the growth of this team of experts from a group of 1 to 10 in just over two years.
Saffron said: “There are lots of exciting opportunities in the North West and Manchester is so well connected that having an office there allows us to deploy easily and get out on sites at short notice.
“There are lots of like-minded organisations in the Land Referencing space based here too, so it is great for networking opportunities, client meetings and building strategic partnerships which we’re very keen to do.
“It’s also just a great, vibrant place offering a fun, social element which is an important part of the B&P culture.”
Key services
Our Manchester team offers full Land Assembly, Planning and Land Information services, with extensive experience in renewables projects.
We’re also exploring opportunities in urban regeneration and looking to develop partnerships with land and property consultants in the area.
We’re always open to a chat, so if you have a project or opportunity in these areas you’d like to discuss, get in touch.
