East Midlands civil and structural engineering company BSP Consulting staged a social networking event to mark the opening of its new, larger premises in Leicester.
The firm has literally gone up in the world after expanding and taking on more staff, and has moved to a new floor in the building in De Montfort Street that it has occupied since the end of 2007. The new premises doubles the previous office space and can accommodate the growing team at BSP, which currently numbers 11 in the Leicester office.
To celebrate the occasion, BSP organised a social networking event for clients, associates and members of staff, mainly from the Leicester and Leicestershire area, which attracted around 50 guests.
BSP Consulting associate director Paul Elphick said: “BSP has steadily grown its Leicester office and presence in the county since first opening premises here more than eight years ago, and it was great to be able to welcome so many clients and associates to the official opening of our new, larger office.
“It proved the perfect chance to mark the occasion, and also for our associates and clients in the construction and development sector to network and catch up.”
BSP Consulting, which has its headquarters in Nottingham and also has offices in Derby and Sheffield, provides civil, structural, traffic, transportation, geotechnical and environmental engineering services across the construction industry. An award-winning business, the firm operates across all the major sectors, including health, residential, retail, leisure, education, rail and industrial.
The Leicester office is currently working on a number of schemes in Leicestershire and the Midlands, including refurbishment schemes with Loughborough University, multi-storey student accommodation in Leicester, residential housing schemes, site investigations, flood risk assessments and traffic impact assessments direct for Leicestershire County Council, and has been involved in several high-profile projects in the area, such as Brooksby Melton College and the new HQ for Dunelm.
