Engineering consultancy expands office by 30%

Arup, the engineering and design consultancy, has expanded its office space in Nottingham by 30% as it looks to take on more staff.

Arup has extended its space in City Gate West to nearly 12,000 sq ft so that it can host more 90 staff from September. It had doubled the number of employees at its Nottingham office in the last three years.

Arup first set up its Nottingham office in 1986 and three years ago, moved to City Gate West in Tollhouse Hill from the Frontage in Queen Street in the city.

John Read, Arup’s interim Nottingham office leader, said: “Due to new contract wins and a growth in the number and type of projects we are working on, we have needed to expand our space in Nottingham in order to add another 30 desks.

“We have been investing in new skills, including town planning, digital consultancy and risk management services, to strengthen our offering locally.

“It is essential that we have the space to accommodate this growth and City Gate West has provided us with a flexible office space solution in a city centre location. We’re delighted to continue to call Nottingham our home.”
