There have been seven promotions to Associate level across the various disciplines:

Finally, Brian Jolly becomes Manager of the Health and Safety department.

FWP Managing Partner David Robinson said: “We’re delighted to announce these internal promotions which highlight the strength-in-depth we have in all our disciplines.

“Our people have a wealth of experience, and their range of knowledge ensures that we consistently deliver projects efficiently and cost-effectively.

“Given that, it is only right we recognise the contribution they make to FWP’s success. These promotions are very well deserved.

“The appointments will also allow our senior management team to concentrate on managing the practice and to continue to move it forward and to explore new opportunities.”

FWP is involved in a host of multi-million-pound health, sports, leisure and cultural projects for a range of clients including the NHS and local authorities.

Current major schemes include the £25M restoration of Rochdale’s historic Town Hall; the £80M expansion of Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster and a host of football and sports orientated developments, including the procurement of sports stadiums in Bath, Leamington, Weymouth and Hastings and health facilities around the north west of England.
