The change, which has resulted in a number of unavoidable redundancies, follows a period of challenging market conditions and ongoing skills pressures within that sector.

Clancy said members of the building services team will transition to another consultancy where possible, helping to provide continuity for clients while safeguarding jobs.

The change marks a return to the discipline on which Clancy has built its reputation for more than 54 years. By focusing its future and expertise on its core engineering services, the business said it is strengthening its ability to support clients across the built environment and position itself for long-term sustainable growth.

Chris Acton, chief executive of Clancy Consulting, said: “These essential changes mark the next chapter for Clancy. By returning our full focus to civil and structural engineering, we’re building on the expertise and reputation that have defined our business for more than five decades.

“We’re creating a business with greater clarity, greater focus and an even stronger platform for our future. Our clients will continue to receive the same high-quality service they know and trust, while we focus on the capabilities that will shape the future of our practice.”

The civil and structural engineering business will continue to be led by its experienced board director team.

Clancy’s current portfolio reflects the breadth of its technical expertise, including the delivery of the new sustainable community at Adelphi Village in Salford, a 20-year nationwide partnership with Holcim, and a long-standing collaboration with North Ayrshire Council delivering public sector projects across the region.
