VA Consulting acquired by Waldeck

WARRINGTON-based architecture and design firm VA Consulting has been acquired by London-based Waldeck.

Waldeck said the deal would boost its presence and capabilities in the North West, mainly in manufacturing, energy and utilities.
 
VA Consulting was established in 1991 as Vearncombe Associates, and specialises in heavy infrastructure, tunnelling and deep excavation. It has worked with British Nuclear Fuels, Siemens, and the North West Development Agency.
 
Waldeck will rebrand VA Consulting’s existing premises at Automation House, Newton Road which will become the 13th site in its office network. All of VA Consulting’s employees have transferred. The office will be led by Waldeck director Andrew Dent.
 
Paul Waldeck, director and founder of Waldeck, said: “This exciting development and our continued growth gives us a platform to build on existing relationships with Jaguar Land Rover, Teva and other manufacturing clients in the North West. We pride ourselves in already playing an active role in supporting some of the world’s biggest nuclear energy investments and we look to expanding this capability across the North West and Cumbria.”
 
Roger Matthews, director of VA Consulting, said: “Following years of hard work and sustained growth, it’s great to see our team becoming part of a strong, ambitious and quality focused consultancy such as Waldeck.”

The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
