Our strategy

  • A multi-skill, multi-local strategy of Identity+Excellence
  • To operate as an engineering and design consultancy in a number of local markets addressing priority sectors with high-performing businesses.

Priorities

High-performing businesses

To have a portfolio of high-performing businesses
Each business to continue to improve the quality of its skills in its local markets, developing capabilities and driving efficiencies – forging deep client relationships.

Addressing attractive sectors

To have the breadth and depth of skills to address increasingly complex projects, increasing revenue in priority sectors
Maintaining or acquiring strong technical skills in robust markets and focusing resources from across the whole Group on exploiting opportunities in sectors such as mass transit, nuclear and renewables.

Market opportunities

To have several home markets where the business is a market leader

Imperatives

Technical excellence

We constantly strive for excellence and harness the range of skills that the Group possesses to answer our clients’ questions better.

Carbon critical design

We are aiming to embed low-carbon design in all our work as a fundamental design parameter.

Health, safety, diversity

We set our own challenging targets for health and safety. Innovation is important for success. Our ability to look at new ideas requires us to approach issues from several points of view, so diversity among our teams is essential.

Flexing resources

Having a flexible resource base means the ability not only to react quickly when market conditions change but also to move work to where the Group resources can most effectively deliver it.

Business improvement
(people, projects, cost)

Improving every aspect of our operations remains an ongoing imperative.
