WYG engineers China agreement
WYG, the Yorkshire design and engineering consultancy, has formed a partnership in China as part of the group’s ongoing international growth strategy.
Leeds-based WYG has signed its first mutual cooperation agreement (MCA) with engineering consultant group The Changjiang and Huanghe Corporation, of Beijing.
The agreement is the first of the consultancy’s plans to form several strategic MCAs with companies in China.
The agreement aims to strengthen the partnership and promote mutually beneficial cooperation between the two companies.
The official signing ceremony took place in Beijing where Keith Perry, WYG’s regional director met with the Zhiwen Yang, director of The Changjiang and Huanghe Corporation, to finalise the agreement.
Mr Perry said: “We are delighted to be strengthening our position within the Chinese business market and making this strategic alliance is a step further to building our foundations in this vastly developing country.
“As we continue to grow our international footprint we are also growing our global competitiveness delivering technical excellence and innovation to all our clients worldwide.
“The Changjiang and Huanghe Corporation are a leading engineering consultant group in Beijing and were identified as WYG’s first MCA with a Chinese company due to clear synergies between the two companies.
“The agreement is already bearing fruit, as we have identified a number of potential projects in China which we are actively investigating together.”
The agreement covers areas including environmental planning and management, sustainability and climate moderation, urban planning, design and transport planning and infrastructure planning and design.
Earlier this year, WYG outlined plans to open an office in Shanghai.
