Growth for utilities and infrastructure team at Gloucester’s Bruton Knowles

Chartered surveyor Bruton Knowles has seen record growth within its utilities and infrastructure (U&I) Team over the past 12 months, with profits up 20 per cent.
From its Quedgeley headquarters, the firm has broken into territories including East Anglia and Wales and opened a new hub in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk last year.
The team now stands at around 100 staff.
Nigel Billingsley, head of Bruton Knowles’ U&I north team, said: “This record growth reflects the hard work and expertise of the wider U&I team in navigating such a complex market.
“It hasn’t always been straightforward – we’ve seen a large amount of delays in tenders and projects which have created challenges – but this growth demonstrates our resilience.
“With key hires and strategic investments, we’ve solidified our presence in new markets, strengthening our ability to serve our existing clients across the UK.
“Looking ahead, the U&I team is focused on securing major tenders that will provide a platform for sustained growth in 2025 and beyond.
“We remain optimistic about our ability to navigate uncertainties, including recruitment challenges and broader economic factors.”
