Further afield, our team have used their knowledge and skills to shape worldwide projects.

Our strategic advice is helping transform connectivity throughout the region, with our partnership on the multi-billion pound Transpennine Route Upgrade and Northern Powerhouse Rail. We have designed and expanded transport infrastructure at Manchester Airport and across the City’s Metrolink network.

Advocating citywide regeneration

From preparation of the ground breaking pan-authority Greater Manchester Spatial Framework, to the clean-up of a former gasworks at First Street and Northern Gateway. Our consultants are helping to shape neighbourhoods and communities across Manchester.
