A mechanical, electrical, and acoustics consultancy has opened a new office in Oxford following several big project wins and positions on major university frameworks.
Having previously relied upon design resources in its London and Midlands-based offices to bring forward projects across Oxfordshire, CPW has now set up in the city.
The new office – located on Woodstock Road, close to the University Science District – is led by director Carl Standley and associate director Jonathan Pollard.
Carl Standley said: “Having always had a strong connection to Oxfordshire in terms of well-established clients and businesses in the construction industry, we were delighted to secure positions on the University of Oxford’s Capital Projects and Carbon Reduction frameworks.
“Strengthening relationships over the last two years, through some testing economic periods, meant that the next natural step was to make a full commitment to the region with a new base here.”
The new office will help CPW deliver on several existing and upcoming projects in the area, including an Institute of Global Health for the University of Oxford, an extensive decarbonisation study for St John’s College and a specialist workshop building and teaching block at Oxford Brookes University’s Headington Hill site.
The NHS trust also relies upon the expertise at CPW in a technical advisory capacity for its Churchill and John Radcliffe sites.
The Oxford office is also bringing forward acoustic services in the region, a complementary discipline to the MEP consultancy, providing specialist advice on all aspects of noise, and vibration in the built environment.
Jonathan Pollard said: “Our success in the region will rely on the premise of building and sustaining strong relationships with clients, consultants, and contractors. A local presence will ensure we can be more reactive and continue to demonstrate professional skill, competence, and diligence.
“Our aspiration for the new office is to continue delivering on our already-strong pipeline of work in Oxford and the wider Oxfordshire region, as well as growing our client base.”
