Keith Rudd, Arup Director and leader of Arup’s Manchester office explained: “The relocation has been a major decision, driven by the growth and breadth of services we now offer across a range of sectors. As an employee owned firm, it’s important we have the right environment to attract and retain the best people, to enable us to continue to deliver great work for our clients.”

He added: “TSK demonstrated a good understanding of the culture of our firm, our aims and goals and have translated this into an environment that reflects both the needs of our people and clients.”
