Quantum Consult Expands Team with New Consultant at Leeds Thorpe Park Office
Leeds-based quantity surveying and construction dispute resolution specialist Quantum Consult has strengthened its team at its Thorpe Park offices with the appointment of a new consultant to respond to the needs of a growing client base.
Joe Ford brings nine years’ experience to his new position at Quantum, including working in-house for a major Yorkshire-based cladding contractor and within an independent consultancy where he worked with clients in all areas of construction. A major part of his role will be to work closely with company founder and director Stephen Pilling to support clients in adjudication cases – a form of dispute resolution which offers an alternative to full legal proceedings.
Joe said: “What is most satisfying about my role is being able to focus on helping clients in difficult situations find a resolution. Often clients in stressful contract disputes are unable to see the wood for the trees, but there is always a way forward providing they know where to begin and what steps to take.
“Supported by a team of highly experienced colleagues, I will be advising clients on the actions required to resolve their disputes and guide them throughout the process to achieve the best possible outcome. And we are in a superb location to service clients at Thorpe Park, an important hub of Yorkshire’s construction and property development sectors.”
Quantum Consult is a division of the Quantum Group of companies which provides a wide range of services to contractors and sub-contractors in the construction and engineering sectors. The group works with clients regionally, nationally and internationally from its HQ at Thorpe Park near Leeds and additional offices at Royton near Oldham, providing quantity surveying, contract management, business consultancy and procurement support, as well as dispute resolution services.
Quantum Group director Stephen Pilling added: “It is fantastic to have Joe on board and I’m sure he will make an important contribution to the growth and long term success of Quantum. His varied experience is ideally suited to the needs of our clients, many of whom are SME specialist sub-contractors who value being able to outsource their critically important contract administration and management obligations to our team.”
