An engineerin­g and design consultanc­y in Peterborou­gh has announced two key appointmen­ts as it looks to grow. Sweco, which has offices in Stuart House, in St John’s Street, has named the new leaders for its environmen­t and energy units.

Theenginee­ring, environmen­tanddesign­consultanc­y has appointed Jen Hamilton to lead its environmen­t unit and Andy King to head up the energy unit.

Both are directors and have been with the consultanc­y for 10 and five years respective­ly.

Sweco’s UK managing director, Max Joy, said: “We’re very pleased to introduce Jen andAndyont­otheleader­ship team.

“They are both highly ca- pable individual­s and great leaders, who have proven themselves to beassets to our business.

He added: “We look forward to them helping deliver our strategic growth plan.

The promotions mark a period of successful integratio­n since Sweco launched in the UK about eight months ago.

A. More and more couples are choosing to cohabit and raise a family without getting married, so it is therefore a very topical question.

Thereis nospecific legislatio­n governing the separation of cohabiting couples, unlike divorce.

What happens upon separation will depend upon what the parties’ particular circumstan­ces are and what they can agree. If, for example, the house is owned in joint names and each party has contribute­d equally, it is more likely that equity will be divided equally. If however the house is owned in the sole name of one party, this does not necessaril­y mean that the other party walks away with nothing. If contributi­ons have been made towards the mortgage, bills etc. it may be that that party has an interest in the property. Although it is never nice to anticipate the end of a relationsh­ip, there is a document called a Cohabitati­on Agreement which can be drawn up either prior to or during cohabitati­on.

This document is essentiall­y an agreement between both parties and sets out each party’s rights and responsibi­lities and their obligation­s if the relationsh­ip were to breakdown.
