New managing director appointed at engineering firm
CIVIL and structural engineering firm BSP Consulting has appointed Carl Hilton as managing director.
BSP - which has offices in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Sheffield - promoted Carl to the role ahead of the retirement of BSP co-founder Dave Sumner.
Carl has been with the company for more than 16 years and will continue to head the structures team at the firm’s Nottingham office, alongside his new role.
BSP offers civil engineering, structural engineering, transport engineering, geotechnical and environmental engineering.
It works across all sectors including housing, student accommodation, commercial, industrial, health, education, senior
living, retail and heritage.
BSP director Mark Rayers said: “We’d like to congratulate Carl Hilton on his appointment as managing director of BSP Consulting as we begin a new chapter in the life of the business. Carl has been with us for more than 16 years and has a wealth of experience in the sector and has consistently demonstrated his ability to successfully contribute to developing the business over the years.”
Carl said: “We have a great team here at BSP Consulting and I am proud and excited to have been appointed as managing director, and look forward to the future as we continue our mission statement to offer first-class civil and structural engineering services throughout the construction sector.
“On behalf of my fellow directors and our whole team, I would like to thank Dave Sumner for his hard work, professionalism and commitment to the company. Dave is one of the original four founding BSP directors and has helped to shape and guide the business from its inception in 1999 to what it is today – a prominent and wellregarded member of the construction sector in the East Midlands. We wish Dave all the very best for his upcoming retirement.”
At the same time, BSP business development manager Carrie Booth will take on an expanded role in the company.
Carrie - who joined BSP 17 years ago - said: “I am delighted to be taking on an expanded role, building on the successful business development work undertaken here at BSP.”
