Growth for transport planning team with three new appointments
Eddisons has expanded its transport planning and highway design consultancy with three new appointments.
Harry Lo has joined the highway design team as a graduate engineer from Hong Kong engineering consultancy Mott Macdonald, while Genna Woods joins the planning team as a trainee technician, after graduating this year from MMU with a masters in computer science.
Lucy Gretton has also returned to Eddisons, following a placement year that was part of her Manchester University human geography degree. She has rejoined the planning team as a graduate transport planner.
Eddisons partner Phil Wooliscroft, who leads the transport planning and highway design teams with Mike Coogan, said: “We are really pleased to welcome these three highly impressive young people to the planning and highway design teams. Eddisons is passionate about recruiting and nurturing fresh talent and their enthusiasm and new ideas are essential to the firm’s future success.
“Harry, Genna and Lucy’s appointments will significantly strengthen the level of service that we can provide to our clients as we expand across the country and we are absolutely delighted that they have chosen to work at Eddisons.”
Now a 14-strong team, Eddisons’ growing transport planning and highway design consultancy was founded in 2011 and provides detailed highways design, transport and traffic advice to predominantly private sector clients, helping them maximise the commercial value of land and assets throughout the planning and design process.
The team recently won the bid to design cycle-friendly public highway works for Birmingham’s largest housing development, the 5,500-home Langley Sutton Coldfield scheme.
Eddisons wins public highway works design bid for Birmingham’s largest housing development
Eddisons’ transport planning and design division has won a bid to deliver detailed design of the public highway works for the 5,500-home Langley Sutton Coldfield development.
Eddisons’ transport planning and design division has won a bid to deliver detailed design of the public highway works for the 5,500-home Langley Sutton Coldfield development., the largest new residential scheme being progressed in Birmingham, will house 14,000 people across over 5,500 new homes on a huge site west of the A38. The ambitious scheme includes 753,000 sq ft of mixed-use space, three primary schools, a high school, health centres, community facilities and 200 acres of public space.
The Eddisons transport team will deliver public highway design works focused on nine strategic access points to the new development, interlinked by a network of new dedicated cycle routes around the perimeter of the site.
Mike Coogan, head of the transport planning design team, said: “The scale and ambition of Langley Sutton Coldfield, providing so many much-needed homes, over 35 per cent of which will be affordable, means it is a very exciting project for Eddisons to be involved with.
“Sustainability and reducing reliance on cars is central to the whole scheme and we are really pleased to be able to contribute towards delivering a cycle-friendly infrastructure that will make travelling by bike a safe and accessible option for residents.”
Construction is expected to begin on the development next year, taking 15-20 years to complete.
