As of July, the Wardell Armstrong team will be fully integrated into SLR Consulting. This marks the culmination of our integration journey, and we are excited about the enhanced value we can now offer. 

Next week, key personnel from across Wardell Armstrong’s offices will be at UKREiiF, the UK’s biggest real estate, investment, and infrastructure showcase and networking event! With over 16,000 delegates expected to visit Leeds over the three-day event, we are excited to assist in influencing and accelerating the transformation of the built environment across the UK in a sustainable and inclusive way.

We were pleased to welcome engineers from across the UK to Stoke-on-Trent yesterday, for the Wardell Armstrong and SLR Consulting Land Quality and Remediation Integration Day! 

Over 70 members of the combined team met for a day of networking, discussions and a technical pub quiz!

All-Energy is a meeting place for professionals in the renewable and low carbon energy community and covers all energy production and transmission sectors including solar, onshore wind offshore wind, floating offshore wind, solar, energy from waste and anaerobic digestion. The exhibition will attract over 10,000 delegates from across the world to Glasgow on the 14th and 15th May 2025.

To accommodate the demand for our services and new opportunities since being acquired by SLR in October 2024, our office in Longbridge, Birmingham has moved.

This relocation provides an open plan working environment in the city centre, with a range of improved facilities and space for collaboration with our new colleagues.

Members of our Archaeology team featured on BBC2’s ‘Great British Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo’ last week.

Technical Director, Frank Giecco talked to Michael about the finds that have been unearthed at the Cricket Club excavations as part of ‘Uncovering Roman Carlisle’, an award-winning project that we have been supporting since 2017. Michael visited both the excavation site and our office, where the finds are processed and recorded in our purpose-built facilities which provide finds analysis, palaeoenvironmental processing, post-excavation analysis, publication and outreach.

Matthew talks about the Roman cremation cemetery in Carlisle where our archaeologists excavated beneath the city centre. The finds showed us an important study of burials and identity in the region.
