Proposition

We are one of the largest independent consultancies in transport planning, infrastructure design and flood risk. With a focus on commercial and social value, we bring development forward positively and sustainably.

 

Ours is a holistic approach. We design, plan and model smart, integrated, multi-modal, low carbon transportation solutions.

We also understand and shape planning policy. Our resulting track record in successful planning consents, appeals and peer reviews is second to none.

Our project experience spans developments that require innovative thinking and attention to detail as well as projects that need a practical and swift resolution.

We have worked on nationally significant regeneration schemes, garden towns, city centre commercial and residential projects, leisure and sports destinations, public sector projects, strategic rail freight interchanges and power stations.

Whatever the scale or scope, we enable development to be brought forward positively, optimising commercial value and placemaking to make schemes successful.

A team of over 150 specialists serve all regions of the UK from offices in London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Exeter and Leeds. We also have a dedicated research division working in the UK and Bonn.

With a vision to lead the way in mobility solutions, we aim to deliver a valuable and lasting contribution to society through the creation of healthy, sustainable and resilient places.
