A FAST-GROWING Warrington-based consultancy business aims to almost double its workforce this year amid ambitious growth plans.
Dubbed “the contractor’s consultancy”, Novo Consultants provides expertise across the built environment sector.
The business has supported several major multi-million-pound projects, ranging from the refurbishment of Manchester Airport to the construction of the Co-Op Live Arena.
Now the ambitious consultancy plans on creating 20 new roles – split evenly between staff and consultants – over the next 12 months, with a keen eye on expansion.
“Novo Consultants only launched last August, but in a short period we’ve made big progress and by the end of the decade, our current goal is to turnover £1m-a-month,” said Managing Director, Jason Palmer.
“Integral to our growth is our workforce, and we are thrilled to be well positioned to grow our team in order for the business to reach that level.”
Boasting a unique model, Novo Consultants provides a range of high-calibre and experienced commercial, planning and project control services to leading engineering and contracting organisations.
And while much of the company’s contracts have been concentrated in the North West, the company is already making moves to expand across the UK.
“Our initial target is to expand further into the Midlands, and we’ve already made a key strategic hire by appointing high-skilled commercial manager Ian Rushton to help break into the area, while the goal next year is to expand into London,” added Jason.
“Additionally, we have identified three key new markets for the business – defence, rail and nuclear – where we will be placing more resources, and we are really interested to use our expertise to help businesses within these sectors.”
And the recruitment drive is already well underway.
Besides Ian’s appointment, Novo’s leadership team has been bolstered by the appointments of a new Business Development lead Ellie Hyde and a senior accountant Debbi Matthews to help bring services in-house, providing stability.
“While many businesses seek the cheapest option when it comes to consultants, I strongly believe that you get what you pay for, and the skillset, experience and professionalism of our team is second-to-none,” added Jason.
“The feedback we’ve had from clients has been superb, and we have incredibly high hopes for the next 12 months and beyond.”
