Newcastle engineering firm further South East presence

Newcastle-headquartered Patrick Parsons, a consulting engineering firm, has acquired Guildford-based The Stilwell Partnership, a strategic move to increase its South East presence.

The Stilwell Partnership, established in 1992, has a 14-strong team and specialises in traffic and transportation modelling, highways and infrastructure design and road safety engineering.

Peter Stienlet, managing director of Patrick Parsons, said: “We are very pleased to end 2015 on a high with the announcement that we have welcomed The Stilwell Partnership to the Parsons Group. The firm has a fantastic team of experienced consulting engineers and the move enables Patrick Parsons to add traffic and transportation modelling to the services we can offer our clients.”

Nick Stilwell, managing director of The Stilwell Partnership, said: “We are delighted to be joining a firm that has such an excellent reputation in the industry and an impressive strategy for growth. It’s a perfect fit for us and being part of Patrick Parsons will enable us to provide an increased number of services for our clients and to drive the business forward.”

Newcastle Law Firm Mincoffs Solicitors advised Patrick Parsons on this acquisition, led by Corporate Partner John Nicholson.

John said ‘We have acted for Patrick Parsons since its inception and are delighted to advise on this acquisition which will see them further increase their UK presence’.

Patrick Parsons has recently been recognised at The Living Waterways Awards 2015 for their work in the design and build of the world’s first packaged white water course in Glasgow.

In addition to its Newcastle base, Patrick Parsons has offices in London, Glasgow, Huddersfield, Chester, Birmingham, Manchester, Dubai and Sydney.
