Engineering consultancy advances into another region

Established Leeds-based structural and civil engineering consultancy, Dudleys, has opened a new office in Prestwich following significant business growth in the North West.

A more permanent presence in the region has been spearheaded by client activity, including Voyage Care with new build projects in Burnley, Ellesmere Port and Liverpool, and Home Bargains with developments in Leigh and Great Harwood.

Dudleys is also appointed to assist in the delivery of the latest phase of development at Logistics North, a strategic employment site near Bolton, with further projects including Runcorn Services and new trade units on Carl Fogarty Way in Blackburn.

Dudleys, which counts Leeds United, Leeds/Bradford Airport and Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate as long-standing clients, has doubled the size of its Leeds office space in the last 12 months with board director Paul Brownlow now heading the new office in Prestwich.

The consultancy revealed a 10% increase in turnover to £1.82m for 2022 and is projecting a further 10% year-on-year growth for the next three years to achieve £2.66m by the end of 2025.

Andy Walker, managing director, said: “We are pleased to announce our office opening in the North West.

“While we have served clients in the region for some years, our expanding portfolio now requires a more locally based team.

“We are optimistic about future business growth in the region and look forward to making our presence more widely known across the industry.”

Dudleys provides structural and civil engineering advice across the UK. The privately owned consultancy employs a team of 25 engineers and operates in all key real estate sectors including residential, industrial, commercial, retail and education.

The new Dudleys office is at 130 Bury New Road, in Prestwich.
