The move marks a strategic commitment to strengthening our presence in the North East and enhancing our ability to deliver tailored engineering solutions to clients across the region.
The new Teesside office, based at Fast Track House, Thornaby, will be led by Paul Burrell, a seasoned civil and structural engineer with over 25 years of experience. A native of the North East, Paul brings deep local knowledge and technical expertise to the role. He will focus on delivering engineering services across key sectors including bridges, infrastructure, energy, industrial development and the public sector.
“Opening this office is a proud moment for me,” said Paul. “Alan Wood & Partners is a firm with a strong legacy of nearly six decades, and it has always placed great value on being accessible to its clients. This move not only strengthens our ability to respond quickly and effectively but also enables us to invest in local talent and skills development, reinforcing our commitment to the communities we serve across the North.”
The Teesside office is expected to create new opportunities for employment and collaboration in the region, contributing to local economic growth whilst enhancing the company’s ability to offer responsive, high-quality engineering solutions tailored to the needs of clients across the North.
Managing Director Mark Coates commented, “Expanding into Teesside is a natural step in our long-term strategy. The North East is full of opportunity and this office positions us to better serve our existing clients while also forging new partnerships. We’re excited about what the future holds here.”
This latest move reflects our wider growth strategy - one that balances national ambition with local roots, and reinforces its reputation as a trusted, forward-thinking engineering consultancy.
