The business, which has nine offices throughout the UK, has been working on projects including the £1 billion all-electric University Hospital Monklands, the mixed-use Dyecoats destination project in Leeds with Latimer by Clarion Housing Group, and Manchester’s Plus Ultra Life Sciences and Health Innovation Hub from specialist developer Kadans.

Joining the Glasgow office is principal sustainability consultant Lucy Thomson. Lucy brings an engineering background and is a specialist in sustainability strategy. She has experience across multiple sectors and expertise in areas including energy demand reduction, life cycle assessments, BREEAM and HQM.

New colleagues joining the Wallace Whittle team in London are Andrew Thorne, ESG and sustainability associate, and Murtaza Mohammadi, ESG and sustainability consultant.

An engineer by background, Andrew is an experienced ESG and sustainability expert with particular expertise in healthcare.

With a background in architecture and a PhD in building technology, Murtaza will work with the team to support clients using Wallace Whittle’s proprietary ‘PathWway’ software; a tool which allows detailed, customisable benchmarking and tracking of the ESG parameters in a given project. His work will help clients to integrate building facilities, optimise construction efficiency and predict energy performance.

Nick Hayes, director of ESG and sustainability at Wallace Whittle, said the team was now recruiting for several other new roles to support client growth.

He said: “Andrew, Murtaza and Lucy are all brilliantly talented people who each bring a unique set of skills to our client projects. They’re already making a real impression with clients and the wider Wallace Whittle team.

“We’ve seen very exciting growth over the last six months, particularly in the area of sustainability consulting. We’re actively looking for talented new people to help us meet the demand. We want to find the best people in the market – Andrew, Murtaza and Lucy are exciting additions to the team and an example of the kinds of people we want to join Wallace Whittle.”
