Manchester low carbon firm crowned best in country for third year running

A Manchester-based company has been crowned as the top engineering consultancy in the UK for the third year running.

Beverley Clifton Morris (BCM), based at One Central Street, city centre, specialises in low carbon building services engineering – which sees a team of 20 staff working alongside architects and contractors to ensure the inner workings of buildings are as efficient and sustainable as possible.

Last week, the firm was announced as the winner of the highly coveted Consultancy of the Year (up to 100 employees) award for the third year running at the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Awards 2016.

The prestigious ceremony took place at Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane and saw over 1,000 industry professionals in attendance.

This national accolade was re-awarded to BCM for its ongoing commitment to the training and development of staff, investment in state-of-the-art technologies and emphasis on low carbon building solutions. The judges recognised how the owner-managed firm is “resolutely committed to sustainability and low cost, low carbon building solutions” and said BCM is an “inspiring consultancy taking a holistic view of building design, incorporating fabric, glazing and services, to provide high quality strategic advice to its clients.”

Winning the award three times in a row solidifies the Manchester firm’s status as the best of its kind within the UK. The judges highlighted how BCM’s approach leads the industry nationally in terms of best practice and new ways of working and praises their involvement with a number of relevant industry steering groups.

Brian Morris, Managing Director at BCM, said: “Winning the award for a second time last year was a huge triumph and encouraged us to continue to grow, develop, inspire and achieve. We are stunned to have retained this accolade for the third year running now. This ongoing recognition we’re receiving highlights us as leaders in our field who are moving the industry forward with an innovative approach to delivering low carbon solutions as standard. I would of course like to thank our dedicated team, clients and industry partners for making this success possible.”

BCM, now in its 14th year of trading, is planning for strategic growth over the coming years as it sees a significant opportunity to deliver low cost energy efficient buildings. Recruitment plans are in place for additional resources to enable them to meet increased demand.

Clients include Legal & General, Manchester City Council, Wates, ISG and Willmott Dixon
