Consulting engineering firm expands into new city centre office

A consulting engineering practise is expanding into new offices in Leeds city centre.

Brentwood has snapped up 1,500 sq ft of workspace in the newly refurbished, Grade I-listed Leeming Building on Vicar Lane.

Since a senior management buyout took place in 2013, the Brentwood Partnership has changed its status to become a Limited Company.

Brentwood, headquartered in Harrogate, has since set out a three-year strategy to achieve 50% annual growth in both team members and turnover. The business is currently on target to achieve an 80% increase in one year as it works towards year end in March 2019.

Throughout 2018, the company also expanded into new office bases in Manchester and Birmingham.

Mark Johnson, director at Brentwood, said: “With a presence now in the three core business cities outside of London we can provide more physical connectivity with our local markets and indeed nationally.

“With this physical growth we are also expanding our team and capabilities having recently announced new principal specialists in lighting and building physics.”

Brentwood offers expertise in mechanical engineering design, electrical engineering design, lighting design, public health design, condition and site surveys, energy and communications infrastructure design, feasibility studies, planning support and post occupancy evaluation.

Johnson added: “Mechanical, electrical and public health design services are at the heart of buildings, providing sustainable, controllable and appropriate environments. As a single disciplinary consulting practice, we are gearing the business to be better placed for market growth and our longer-term business plan is to increase our UK and international presence.”
