New office move for Leeds engineers accommodates growth

The Leeds office of civil and structural engineers RWO has relocated to new premises to accommodate strong growth and demand for an expanding range of services.

The move from Park Place sees the company take office space at Mabgate Mills on the outskirts of Leeds, increasing current capacity to ensure future operational requirements are met and quality standards remain high.

This follows four years of expansion for the firm, which has continued to develop its regional presence and diversify the range of services it offers following investment in resources to secure new work.

With a forecasted turnover of over £2.8m in FY24, RWO has seen substantial growth on the back of an increased workload from both regional private and public sector clients, who have continued to invest in bringing forward schemes and maintain an optimistic outlook for the engineering sector.

In particular, an ever-growing volume of work in the infrastructure, residential housing and commercial property sectors has led to a robust performance and increasing diversification for RWO across the Yorkshire and wider market. Local authorities planning investment in new drainage and highways schemes also continue to show considerable interest in the firm’s expertise.

RWO managing director Ross Oakley said additional technician and senior engineer roles will be created as investment to strengthen the existing team continues and workloads increase.

He added: “We are busier than ever, winning major new projects as well as growing the scope of work undertaken for current clients. We are very much a business on the rise, investing in a new office to increase our footprint, accommodate future growth and provide the best possible environment to enable the team to thrive and deliver excellent service.

“The move signals the next exciting chapter for our operations, laying firm foundations as we go from strength-to-strength with the capacity to deliver sustainable growth. We look forward to continuing to diversify our service offering and client base, while developing a strong presence in Leeds and beyond.”

RWO specialises in a range of work including flood risk assessments, residential, commercial, industrial and leisure structural engineering. Civil engineering services cover road design, drainage, external works and SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage). The company operates from offices in Newcastle upon Tyne, and Leeds and Stokesley in Yorkshire. More at https://rwo.group/
