MULTIDISCIPLINARY development consultancy Pegasus Group has opened a new HQ in Edinburgh.
Located in the business district of Haymarket, the office is tipped to act as a springboard for the expansion of services across Scotland.
The move follows the appointment of Jamie Scott as director of planning in Scotland. Having joined from WSP earlier this year, Jamie is spearheading Pegasus Group’s new regional initiative, which will see the business increase the number of ongoing projects in Scotland, whilst expanding its offering of technical expertise and services, including planning, heritage and environmental consultancy.
With 75% of onshore wind capacity in the UK located in the region and the Scottish Government currently planning to accelerate housebuilding, Pegasus Group said it plans to capitalise on recent developments in the market and will focus on building its pipeline of housing, leisure & tourism, and renewable energy projects.
The firm plans to double the size of the team in the region over the next three years.
Jamie Scott said, “Having always remained committed to the UK’s renewable energy development, Pegasus Group is perfectly positioned to support Scotland with an enhanced range of development services as it looks to accelerate the delivery of new projects. Our team has a deep level of expertise when it comes to offering crucial development advice and site assessments for environmentally important projects, and we are thrilled to be working in the region at such an exciting time of growth.”
Pegasus Group CEO Douglas McCormick added, “Our commitment to Scotland mirrors the growth that we anticipate will continue in the region’s renewable energy and housing markets. It’s a burgeoning market, and in the months and years ahead we’re keen to bring our full offering of services to Scotland, including infrastructure development, landscape design, and large scale urban masterplanning. I look forward to seeing Jamie build on this long-term ambition and grow the Scottish business from the new office.”
