| BSP Leicester office celebrating the 10th anniversary |
East
Midlands-based civil and structural engineering company BSP Consulting is
celebrating a decade in Leicester.
It is ten
years since the firm opened a Leicester office in De Montfort Street – the
third office in the group.
Since then,
the award-winning company has moved to larger premises, double the size of the
original, to cater for increasing demand for its services in the area.
“We opened our
Leicester office in December 2007 with three staff and since then have
gradually grown as we established ourselves as a key civil and structural
engineering company in the city,” said Paul Elphick, BSP Consulting director,
who manages the Leicester office and has been based at the De Montfort Street
branch since it was launched.
“During our
decade in Leicester we have increased the range of services we offer from this
office to include pre-planning support and traffic and transportation
engineering, and this has been one of the reasons behind the expansion of the
team.
“However,
as our reputation has grown, so has the number of engineers and technicians we
have employed in Leicester and we currently have a team of 15 based in our city
office, working across the city, county and beyond.”
During the
past decade, BSP has provided civil and structural engineering services for a
number of key projects in Leicester and Leicestershire, including Makers’ Yard
in Leicester’s Creative Quarter, buildings at Brooksby Melton College, refurbishment
schemes at Loughborough University, the new Birkett House SEN School in
Wigston, and the HQ for Dunelm at Syston.
It has also
recently supported the development of the Get Busy Living Centre near
Melton Mowbray – the rehabilitation centre for those with life-changing
sporting injuries, which is being spearheaded by the Matt Hampson Foundation,
the charity set up by the former England Under-21 and Leicester Tigers player,
Matt Hampson who was paralysed in a rugby accident.
In addition, members of staff from the Leicester office have
been involved in numerous developments further afield and are currently working
on projects as far away as South Wales, where the firm has been appointed to
work on the spectacular new multi-million-pound Afan Valley Adventure Resort,
which is set over 500 acres of forests and hills and will be the first
development of its kind in the UK, and home to a wealth of adrenaline-fuelled
indoor and outdoor activities.
BSP
Consulting managing director David Sumner said: “On behalf of BSP Consulting,
I’d like to congratulate Paul Elphick and his team on the way they have built
up the Leicester office of the company to become a well-established and highly
regarded business in Leicestershire, and to also thank them for their hard work
and commitment over the past decade.”
The
Leicester BSP team headed to Warwick Castle for an away day to mark the tenth
anniversary of the office.
BSP Consulting was founded in 1999
in Nottingham, and later opened a Derby office before also expanding into
Leicester. It offers civil, structural,
transportation, environmental and geotechnical engineering services and provides
a complete range of consultancy services to all sectors of the construction
community, from architects, project managers and contractors to developers and
estate agents.
