Engineering consultancy launches second office in Sheffield amid growth period

UK engineering consultancy Dice is scheduled to open its second office in Sheffield and have appointed an associate director to lead the team.

Associate director Adam Jolly will be heading the Sheffield office, which will initially be home to a team of four civil and structural engineers. It will be overseen by Dice director Jon Svikis and the Sheffield operation will also be supported by the wider multidisciplinary team located within the Nottingham head office.

Dice opened its first office in the East Midlands city five years ago and since then has established a strong reputation and pipeline across the region. The decision to open in Sheffield has come as a result of a growing customer base in the Yorkshire region and ongoing projects in the city.

It gives Dice a base to service existing clients and to build contacts with some of the UK’s major tier one contractors and consultants who operate out of Yorkshire. Adam Jolly joins the business from Mott MacDonald in the city where he has worked for the last eight years.

Adam commented: “I’m delighted at the prospect of joining the talented Dice team and being a key part of the new office in Sheffield. The business is excelling in its field and I’m delighted to be part of its impressive growth.

Speaking on the opening of the Sheffield office, Dice director Wayne Oakes added: “We already have established relationships with key partners including design consultants, developers and clients within the Sheffield City Centre Region so having a presence in the city is the next step in our growth.

“Yorkshire is one of the most prominent regions in the country with two of the UK’s largest growing cities. We see Sheffield as a key city within the UK providing access to the wider Yorkshire market including Leeds and surrounding areas. Sheffield also has two key Universities allowing us to recruit the best up and coming talent.

“We are seeing ongoing investment within Sheffield and surrounding districts due to key inward investment from schemes such as Heart of the City, University of Sheffield and Hallam University, AMRC, West Bar to name a few.

“There are also a number of other accelerating markets in the region such as Leeds, as well as developing regions driven by initiatives such as Towns Funds, Levelling Up and Northern Powerhouse.”

Dice currently offers intelligent civil and structural engineering design solutions and operates nationally, in a variety of sectors including residential, commercial and education. Its headquarters are at St Mary’s Gate, in Nottingham and it “embraces creativity and new technologies as a dynamic, forward-thinking company”.
