BSP has celebrated the fifth anniversary of the opening of the firm’s Leicester office.
The company launched the branch in De Montfort Street at the end of 2007 with five staff working in civil and structural engineering teams.
It has since almost doubled in size and now has nine staff members, including a transportation team.
Recent projects being handled by the Leicester office include the civil and structural engineering design of a proposed 30,000 sq ft industrial warehouse, a new multi-storey steel frame apartment block building and refurbishment of existing building, the civil and structural design of new FA changing room facilities, and the renovation of a grade 2 listed warehouse, all in Leicester.
Employees in the Leicester office have also carried out inspections of new highways structures, feasibility stage works such as flood risk assessments, site investigations and transport assessments for new council offices in Melton Mowbray and sites in Wellingborough and have also been involved in numerous private social housing schemes, including S278 junction improvements, around Leicestershire and the East Midlands.
“When we opened the Leicester office, BSP already had quite strong links with the city and it’s been very pleasing to be able to cement our relationships with a number of key clients including architects, developers and project managers in Leicestershire over the past five years, and also to develop new relationships in what has been a turbulent economic environment,” said associate Paul Elphick, who heads up BSP’s Leicester office.
