Sutcliffe awarded highly commended at ACE Awards

We’re proud to announce that our team at Sutcliffe were awarded highly commended in the national engineering awards for Best UK Consultancy Medium by the Association for Consultancy and Engineering last night. 

Since 1985, we’ve been dedicated to creating a lasting impact, working on projects that benefit the needs of the community and future generations, and have completed over 35,000 projects including hospitals and extra care facilities, schools, student accommodation and large housing schemes.

At Sutcliffe, we are dedicated to making a difference. 90% of our housing schemes benefit people from disadvantaged backgrounds, we recruit apprentices from similar backgrounds and continually ensure to promote equal opportunities, empowering diversity.

Thanks to recent successes, we’re among a select group of SMEs appointed to some of the nation’s most significant frameworks, valued at over £2.5bn collectively and we were also appointed to ICN’s £1.5bn framework, focusing on delivering high-quality, sustainable and affordable homes across the north of England.

The strategic plan we implemented in 2018, helped us tap into several new sectors including further elevating our presence across Liverpool, Manchester, Wrexham and Leeds, which has allowed our team to grow from 30 to 65 in seven years.

Recognised as a leading structural and civil engineering consultancy in housing, healthcare and education, we proudly hold a strong voice in the industry, providing many industry insights and thought leadership pieces as well as advocating for the government to increase housing targets, because we believe access to good quality housing is a fundamental human right.

This award highlights the work we have delivered across the UK, from student accommodation to new home schemes, and the essential hospital structures we’ve built to allow NHS services to function based on demand for capacity and enhanced facilities. 

Our future looks bright with plans for continuous improvement and growth within the business. Sutcliffe is a consultancy like no other, we’re immensely proud and delighted to be awarded highly commended in this year’s ACE Awards.

“I feel valued, empowered and encouraged”

At Sutcliffe I found a supportive environment that values both my career and family life. As a mother and professional engineer, balance can be challenging, but the company’s understanding has allowed me to be fully present for my family while pursuing my professional goals. I feel valued, empowered and encouraged and my achievements are celebrated.
