WALLACE Whittle has announced three new hires as it looks to support a growth surge across its UK project base.
The ESG, sustainability, MEP consultancy – which has nine offices across the UK – has been working on projects such as the £1 billion University Hospital Monklands, the mixed-use Dyecoats destination project in Leeds, and Manchester’s Plus Ultra Life Sciences and Health Innovation Hub.
The firm has now welcomed Murtaza Mohammadi, Lucy Thomson, and Andrew Thorne to its team. Andrew, who comes from an engineering background and joins as an ESG and sustainability associate, is experienced in ESG and sustainability – with particular expertise in healthcare.
Meanwhile, Murtaza joins as an ESG and sustainability associate at the firm’s London office. He has a background in architecture and a PhD in building technology and will work with the team to support clients using Wallace Whittle’s proprietary ‘PathWway’ software – a tool which allows detailed, customisable benchmarking and tracking of the ESG parameters in a given project. His work will help clients to integrate building facilities, optimise construction efficiency and predict energy performance.
Lucy Thomson joins as a principal sustainability consultant at Wallace Whittle’s Glasgow office. Lucy also brings an engineering background and is a specialist in sustainability strategy. She has experience across multiple sectors and expertise in areas including energy demand reduction, life cycle assessments, BREEAM, and HQM.
Nick Hayes, director of ESG and sustainability at Wallace Whittle, said the team was now recruiting for several other new roles to support client growth. He continued, “Andrew, Murtaza, and Lucy are all brilliantly talented people who each bring a unique set of skills to our client projects. They’re already making a real impression with clients and the wider Wallace Whittle team.
“We’ve seen very exciting growth over the last six months, particularly in the area of sustainability consulting. We’re actively looking for talented new people to help us meet the demand. We want to find the best people in the market – Andrew, Murtaza and Lucy are exciting additions to the team and an example of the kinds of people we want to join Wallace Whittle.”
