Dalcour Maclaren to cut the ribbon on new Bicester office, creating 50 new jobs
Fifty new jobs have been created with the opening of Dalcour Maclaren’s second office in Bicester this month.
Founded in the town 21 years ago, the professional services consultancy to the utilities and infrastructure industry has grown its workforce to 475 full-time staff.
It has opened new working spaces in 18 locations nationwide including London, Bristol, Thetford, Crewe, Stirling and Ballymena in Northern Ireland.
The new office forms part of a long-term growth strategy with Dalcour Maclaren intending to increase its workforce to meet the demand from the UK’s utility and infrastructure sector.
Surveyors, project managers, environmental planners and GIS specialists are being recruited.
The bespoke-designed office will create a new hub for teamwork and collaboration at its Oxfordshire headquarters.
James Neil, CEO and founder of Dalcour Maclaren, said creating new jobs and upscaling the company’s operation will maintain the company’s place as a leader in the services provided.
He said: “Expanding our headquarters in Bicester is an important milestone, and one we’re especially proud of given Oxfordshire is where Dalcour Maclaren launched.
