Specialist technical consultancy, MEC Consulting Group has confirmed its expansion into Nottingham with the launch of its fourth office.
The multi-disciplinary firm has taken office space within the ARC Space Studio on Western Street in the city centre. Eight staff have relocated from MEC’s Leicester Head Office, representing experts in Lighting, Flood Risk, Civils, Transport and Geo-Environmental. The new Nottingham team is led by Regional Director, Tim Rose.
“A central Nottingham office has been a consideration for some time and was built into our recruitment strategy, hence why we’ve been able to establish a strong, multifaceted team from the outset,” explains Tim. “However, when the opportunity arose to join ARC Design Studio in their new co-working building, it felt like a natural fit, having collaborated with them on multiple projects.
“ARC Space is a community-focused workspace that fosters teamwork and a strong sense of connection, which aligns perfectly with our own values. It also reflects a model that’s worked well for us in other locations, and we’re confident it will not only strengthen our relationship with ARC Design Studio but also provide a solid foundation for continued growth in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands,” adds Tim.
Working alongside Tim at MEC Nottingham are Nathan Allen and Callum Astle (Lighting); Tom Sturtridge and Hope Waters (Flood Risk & Drainage); Jed Nicholson and Michael Webb (Civil Engineering); and Olesija Cepnijan (Geo-Environmental).
Tim continues: “To support the growth of our Nottingham office, we are actively recruiting. We currently have vacancies for a Senior Transport Planner and a Graduate Lighting Consultant, offering opportunities for talented professionals to take the next step in their career and help strengthen our presence in Nottingham.”
MEC is active among the city’s business community, with the firm members of ProCon Nottingham and regular supporters of local networking groups including The First Thursday Club, Women In Construction, and RTPI East Midlands.
The firm’s Managing Director, Alex Bennett concludes: “Nottingham has been on our radar for some time; thanks to the strong client relationships we have already established in the Midlands. We are aware that business in Nottingham typically thrives on a local, neighbourly approach so we are pleased to have secured such a prominent location into the heart of the city. This move not only allows us to increase our visibility but also puts us in a great position to connect more easily, meet face-to-face, and continue the exciting expansion of our business.”
