Land and consent management business opens three new UK offices as part of wider growth plan

Ardent, which provides a range of services on some of the most significant infrastructure and regeneration projects across the UK and Ireland, already has a presence in Birmingham, London, Leeds, Manchester, Warrington, Glasgow and Dublin.

Now, the company has recognised the need to expand its footprint even further and has taken space in Cardiff, Newcastle and Peterborough. 

The locations have been identified strategically to support current contracts – from the services it delivers for Welsh Water through to a range of renewables projects in the east of England – as well as potential new business opportunities.

The business has been on a strong growth trajectory in recent years and now employs more than 220 people. That figure is set to increase further, with ongoing recruitment across the country as the company seeks to attract experienced consultants across its four key sectors – utilities, renewables, transport and regeneration.

It is also bringing through the next generation of talent with major investments in training and development.
