Civil and structural engineering consultancy ELLUC Projects has announced a major expansion and relocation of its Midlands office.

With the help of property agents John Truslove, ELLUC has acquired a 2,307 sq ft office building at 7 Regents Court, Far Moor Lane, Redditch, for an undisclosed sum.

The fast growing business has moved from serviced offices in Solihull.

Louis McLoughlin, managing director, said: “Four years ago ELLUC was a team of ten, with one small regional office in the Northwest. We now employ over 40 staff across three regional offices – the Northwest, Midlands and Yorkshire.

“We currently have 16 job vacancies and this will shortly increase with the launch of our new south London region later this year.

“Having a location which suits the requirements of our clients was a must, and 7 Regents Court does that. The office will support the vast expansion plans which we have for the Midlands region.”

Ian Parker, a director of John Truslove, said: “Regents Court is a development of nine individual traditionally constructed office buildings grouped around a central, landscaped courtyard.

“It offers quality and character – just the sort of location for growing businesses wanting to make a statement.”

Headquartered in Warrington, ELLUC Projects handles both residential and commercial projects such as house builder schemes, large PFI developments, prisons, schools, universities, student accommodation and supermarkets.

Its portfolio of work takes in a 340 room student accommodation development at Cambridge University, two new apartment blocks at Pomona Island, Manchester, a flood alleviation scheme for a furnishings company in Derbyshire, a new primary school in Swindon, a homes and offices redevelopment in Macclesfield, construction of 2,000 new homes and 1,500 refurbished properties at Pendleton, Manchester, and a new police custody suite at Perry Barr, Birmingham, for West Midlands Constabulary.
