The lead consultancy role it took in the £100m extension for Leeds Bradford Airport has helped Leeds-based engineering consultancy Dudleys to a 15% increase in turnover for the 2023/24 year.
The project is just one of further new contracts in the aviation sector, including London Luton Airport and Heathrow Airport.
Dudleys, which is celebrating 15 years in business has enjoyed several highlights in the last 12 months, including a property industry award for ‘Best Consultancy’, five new recruits at its Leeds headquarters, and new offices in Manchester city centre for its North-West base.
Dudleys MD Andy Walker said: “Strong trading over the last financial year is boosted by our work for Leeds/Bradford Airport, for which we have been retained as lead consultancy for all our 15-year history.
“We are immensely proud of our ability to maintain close working relationships with clients for the long term with intimate knowledge of the estates for clients including Leeds United and Betty’s and Taylors of Harrogate.
“Diversification and multi-sector work has also helped us to maintain business resilience and we are pleased to have expanded our care sector portfolio and repeat instructions from leading operators including Torsion Group, Voyage Care and LNT Care Developments. We have also seen a significant increase in business for large scale housing developments and the energy sector, particularly for EV charging sites.
“With a robust growth plan and succession planning in place we are very optimistic about future business development and regional growth.”
