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.
