A Cardiff-based development, project and cost management consultancy has opened an office in London as part of its ambitious growth plans.

David Champs, who set up the firm with Paul Tambini, said: 鈥淚f you are looking to grow, you simply can鈥檛 ignore London, which is proving a more buoyant market than many others in the 海角视频. Latest data from Property Week highlights that the central London office markets is showing strong growth. So, having an office in the city is essential to help us grow our business, providing a vibrant base for our staff, who are working on projects throughout the 海角视频, but driven from London.
鈥淲e have already worked with some high-profile and well-established clients in London, including Unite the Union and Restaurant Story. While both organisations and projects are very different in nature, they illustrate our ability to deliver for clients from different sectors by keeping their specific objectives in focus.
鈥淲e鈥檙e confident that our new London location, alongside our plans to extend our expertise in sustainable development and reduction of carbon, will help us to accelerate our growth plans as a business and achieve our objectives.鈥
The firm anticipates that staff numbers will increase as a result of the new office space, increasing its 海角视频 team from 12 to 20 within the next three years.
