The news comes following a year of growth at Identity Consult – with the business welcoming nine new colleagues in the last quarter alone, as well as investing more than £200,000 in its workforce across the UK.

Known for delivering excellence in project management, cost consultancy, employer’s agent, principal designer, and development management services, the company has offices in York, Sunderland, Preston, Salford.

More recently the business expanded into the West Midlands following its acquisition of Carl Dean Associates (CDA), a large construction consultancy.

The company achieved a turnover of £6.58 million in the last financial year and is on target for a turnover of £7 million for this financial year.

Director Mark Allan said: "Our industry is facing an acute skills shortage, and it’s imperative that businesses like ours support future talent through investment, internships and graduate opportunities.

"Hassan is the perfect example of this, someone who joined us for experience, before forging a strong relationship with our clients that has led to his promotion. While Harris is at the very start of his career, with support and investment from us that will help him grow.

“Our goal is to give our clients the highest level of service, something I believe our new colleagues will offer in abundance.”
