Room to grow for architects

ARCHITECTURAL surveying and planning practice Cassidy & Ashton has invested in new offices in Chester.

The company has moved from rented accommodation to fully-owned new offices at Hunters Walk, Canal Street.

The new facility provides an additional 450sq ft of space with the move following sustained growth across all three of its specialist services.

The company says its architecture practice has developed particularly rapidly over the past 18 months, following key projects including the Chadwick Building at the University of Liverpool, Westminster Surgery in Ellesmere Port and a scheme in Handbridge for the University of Chester, which has seen Cassidy & Ashton make six new appointments.

Director at Cassidy & Ashton Dave Owen said: “We have now been in Chester for nine years and the success of our practice here, alongside our Preston office, underpins our impressive client base and portfolio across our architecture, planning and surveying disciplines.

“Going forward we want to build on those foundations and the acquisition of a larger office is a vital part of our growth strategy because it will give us permanent roots and the space we need to increase the team.

“We look forward to welcoming clients to our new offices once we’ve moved in during July.”
