Industry consultancy Sweco UK has opened a new office in Teesside.

Based in the Durham Tees Valley Business Centre in Stockton-on-Tees, the new office will be occupied by a team of four transportation experts with experience in delivering Intelligent Transport Systems, such as smart motorways.

Currently, the team is working on a variety of Highways England projects, including the implementation of a stretch of smart motorway between junctions 9 and 14 of the M3 in Hampshire.

Sweco is already underway assisting with across the North East include the A1 Leeming to Barton upgrade and the A1 Scotswood to North Brunton project.


Commenting on the new office launch, Sweco UK managing director, Max Joy, said: "We have experienced consistent, positive revenue growth since we launched and our consultancy work in the North East has made a significant contribution to that success.

"We chose to open in Stockton to give us a greater footprint in the region, in addition to our established Gateshead office, and as part of our strategic growth plans across the UK. It provides us with the platform to generate further sustainable growth and gives our clients enhanced access to our services and specialisms."

Stockton-based Sweco technical director Stuart Wilson, added: "It is fantastic to be part of such a fast-growing, forward-thinking business which recognises the huge opportunities for growth in the region and beyond. We are looking forward to expanding the Teesside office and supporting Sweco's multi-disciplinary project delivery throughout the UK."
