Supported by a diverse clientele across sectors and regions, our recent highlights include:
- Holyhead Port Expansion (Stena Line Ports)
- Portsmouth Harbour Aircraft Carrier Berth and Approach Channel (Defence Infrastructure Organisation)
- Bacton Sandscaping Scheme (North Norfolk Council)
- Leith Outer Berth development (Forth Ports Limited)
Driven by a growing, high-impact marine development portfolio, we’re seeking ambitious, solutions-focused professionals—expasive communication, technical proficiency, and a dedication to making a meaningful difference in coastal and marine infrastructure.
If you’ve dedicated your career to consenting for marine and coastal development and are eager to drive progress in our sector, we’d love to hear from you.
