Construction consultancy doubles workforce with 50 project wins in first six months

Property and construction consultancy Ingleton Wood has announced fresh growth plans across the Midlands and northern England after its new Nottingham office secured more than 50 infrastructure project appointments and doubled its workforce in just six months.

The practice, which dates to the 1930s, opened its seventh office at Sherwood Business Park in summer 2023 to expand and strengthen its geographic reach from the East of England, South East and London.

The Nottingham team has a dedicated focus on the public sector and secure infrastructure sectors including net zero and renewable energy project delivery. Senior associate Ben Bettle and five other sector specialists were appointed to drive the business and develop the practice’s multi-disciplinary services.

In its first six months, Ingleton Wood’s Nottingham office was appointed to over 50 large-scale infrastructure projects across the region and doubled its team to a dozen staff including mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineers, building information modelling (BIM) and computer-aided design (CAD) technicians, with plans to expand further.

Senior associate Nick Fox has also recently been appointed to help support the leadership team to further strengthen the building services and sustainability agenda of the Nottingham office. Nick brings with him over a decade of experience in a wide range of sectors and a strong pedigree of building teams and supporting clients with complex requirements.

David Cresswell, managing partner at Ingleton Wood, commented: “To be appointed to over 50 complex sustainable infrastructure projects just six months after launching our Nottingham office while seamlessly doubling our specialist local team is a fantastic achievement.

“We’ve laid many important foundations, allowing us to invest in our accelerated growth strategy for the Midlands and northern England as we look to scale up the team in Nottingham to meet increasingly strong demand for our multidisciplinary services.

“This is a very exciting time for Ingleton Wood. We look forward to the next phase of our national expansion plans and strengthening our secure infrastructure services.”
