TATE CONSULTING ENGINEERS BUCK THE TREND TO OPEN NEW ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION
Leeds, West Yorkshire, November 28th, 2008
Tate continues to defy the current climate by posting strong growth. Over the last three years Tate has followed a strategy of diversification in terms of both geography and services.
This has served Tate well and resulted in a string of offices forming a central backbone across the country. It has also seen the development of an extensive services portfolio with the establishment of four separate divisions, including; Built Environment, Structures, Environment and Management Services.
When developing this mix of services, Tate had an eye on the future, focusing strongly on up & coming energy & environmental sectors which are expected to perform well despite the prevailing economic climate.
This year, Tate has already seen the acquisition of GJA (Leeds) Ltd on the civil & structures side of the business with more planned to bolster the other divisions during 2009.
Acquisition alone is not the only thing that has powered Tate forward. Strong organic growth and a steady stream of new arrivals, consisting of some of the engineering industry’s best talent have also contributed to the rapid rise. No fewer than 15 engineers at Associate Director level or above have swelled the ranks this year alone, many having opted to join Tate ahead of the large multinationals.
Tate’s success is in large part down to our unique approach. Rather than recommending the most conventional solution, typically with the largest financial outlay and environmental impact, we always think laterally and investigate every option with a view to reducing capital expenditure and cost in use. Maximizing value and minimizing impact is at the heart of everything we do and is a prime reason for our success despite operating within difficult external market conditions.
Commenting on the organisation’s progress, Shane Tate, Managing Director of Tate Consulting Engineers said “We are delighted with the latest results and our continued strategy. It has allowed us to extend our already extensive expertise, deliver new services and extend our geographic reach to meet the evolving requirements of our clients.
This robust business model ensures our financial strength & stability and provides our clients & investors alike with confidence and security.”
