Faithful & Gould expand into south of Ireland

Cost management consultancy Faithful & Gold has initiated an expansion drive into the south of Ireland in a move that will see its existing Belfast base complemented by new and improved services in Dublin.

Faithful & Gould has already gained a range of customers in Ireland - including rail company Iarnrod Eireann, the Bank of Scotland, and Dublin Corporation - and following the relocation, the company will be better placed to serve both new and existing clients throughout the Republic.

The Dublin office is to house around 20 employees, with the company able to provide services that include quantity surveying, cost engineering, estimating and cost planning, project management, risk assessment and arbitration and litigation. Staff will handle work in all areas of the property and construction industry, with particular emphasis on commercial property, industry, utilities and transport.

Commenting on the decision to expand, Regional Director Kevin Jones, said: “There is a gap in the market here for the quality and scope of services which Faithful & Gould is able to provide.”

Employing over 1,500 staff worldwide, Faithful & Gould has offices throughout Europe, the US and Asia. The company is a member of the WS Atkins group, a leading provider of technologically-based consultancy and support services. (CL)
