Leeds engineering practice celebrates multi-million pound turnover with new projects

A Leeds engineering practice is celebrating its multi-million pound turnover as it announces new projects

Adept Civil and Structural Consulting Engineers, which provides a full range of civil and structural engineering solutions, is on track to turnover £3.5m this year. The company has already secured £1.5m worth of turnover for 2022 following several high-profile contract wins, with a further £1m in pending projects.

Founded in 2007 by directors Erol Erturan, Matthew Ramsden and Richard Parker, Adept has grown from nine staff to 45 across four regional offices in Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and London. The company has just celebrated its 15th anniversary.

Erol Erturan, managing director at Adept, said: “We have come a long way in 15 years and are delighted that the key clients who supported us in the beginning are still working with us today, which is the ultimate endorsement for what we do.

“Since the beginning we have fostered a successful apprenticeship programme to nurture future talent and now have 10 members of our current team who started with us as apprentices, along with three graduates and three engineering students.

“We’re looking forward to recruiting new engineers and technicians to our civil and structural teams in the next few months.

“We were one of the first companies to sign up to the UK Engineers Declare Climate Emergency petition and have been a climate positive business for nearly two years. We are significantly increasing the carbon efficiency of our design workflow using software and informed design choices, which reinforces our solid reputation for being at the forefront of technology.

“This commitment has seen us push the boundaries of Building Information Modelling (BIM), launching an innovative laser point cloud scanning service that enables us to produce highly detailed and accurate 3D models of buildings, landscapes and sites.”

Adept recently helped deliver the Trinity Academy Leeds secondary school, which will have 1200 pupils at capacity. It is the biggest education project Adept has completed, building on previous years of success in this sector.
