Workforce management systems can help firms streamline the hiring process

Implementing secure and reliable workforce management systems can help companies streamline their hiring processes, especially when opening a new office with the aim to expand their business.

This is also the case with engineering and design consultancy Sweco UK, which has expanded its presence in the North East with the launch of a Stockton office.

Located within the Durham Tees Valley Business Centre, the company’s new base will complement its existing office in Gateshead from which it provides multi-disciplinary services covering buildings, environment, energy, transportation and water and asset management.

Max Joy, managing director at Sweco UK, said: "We have experienced strong revenue growth over the past 12 months, to which our consultancy work in the North East made a significant contribution.

"We chose to open an office in Stockton to give us greater access to the region and as part of our strategic growth plans across the UK. It provides us with the platform to generate further sustainable growth and gives our clients enhanced access to our services and specialisms."

Stuart Wilson, technical director at the Stockton office, added: "It is fantastic to be part of such a fast-growing, forward-thinking business which recognises the huge opportunities for business growth in the region.

"We intend to expand our presence within the North East which is why we are already on a recruitment drive, and speaking to existing and potential clients about how we can support multi-disciplinary project delivery via the Stockton office."
