Engineering consultancy Wallace Whittle expanding in England

Engineering consultancy Wallace Whittle is expanding in England with the opening of offices in Manchester and Birmingham.

The Glasgow group has a strong focus on Scotland and the Republic of Ireland and has more than 140 staff across eight regional bases in the UK.

Wallace Whittle’s ongoing English projects include the Boddingtons Manchester residential project, the Store Hotel in Oxford and Victoria Infirmary in Northwich.

Allan McGill, managing director at Wallace Whittle, said: “The opening of new offices in Birmingham and Manchester underscores Wallace Whittle's commitment to delivering innovative solutions and exceptional quality to clients nationwide.

“These expansions signify a pivotal juncture for our company as we execute our growth strategies and extend our reach across the UK. Growth in England is pivotal to our next level aspirations for the company, and we are steadfast in our commitment to becoming a prominent player in the region.”

The Manchester office is headed by Paul Dean, who has helped lead the business’ expansion in recent years and will continue to lead its Warrington office.

He said: "Having seen our success in the North West grow during recent years thanks to our well deserved reputation for quality, innovation and delivery, opening an office in the centre of Manchester is a logical next step for our expansion as a business.

“With nearly 150 team members across Wallace Whittle, we’re perfectly placed to deliver quality on a wide range of project types, and this new office solidifies our recent growth.”

The Birmingham office will be led by newly appointed director Darren Wright. He said: "It's a privilege to be joining an established brand in Wallace Whittle at such an exciting time and playing a key role in the expansion and growth plans within Birmingham and the wider central UK region.

"Promoting the company's proud history of delivering quality of product and service is fundamental to maintaining our local existing client base and shaping relationships with new clients alike."
