Our target is to double our England turnover within the next three years. This bold ambition is underpinned by our unwavering commitment to quality and a client-focused approach, delivered through consistent standards across all Wallace Whittle locations.

With six decades of expertise rooted in Scotland, and well-established offices in London and Warrington, our recent launches in Birmingham and Manchester further demonstrate our drive for progress and sustained growth, and we’re not stopping there.

Most recently, Carl Saxon has joined Wallace Whittle as Regional Director, with responsibilities for growth across the South of England, supported by our Birmingham and London offices. With 27 years of industry experience, Carl brings a wealth of knowledge in developing teams and delivering large-scale projects across the UK. He will work closely with our Directors in Birmingham and London to propel further growth and development.

Carl shared with us,

“Wallace Whittle is first and foremost a business centered around people – colleagues, clients and communities. That’s what delivers real success and will be central to moving forward and increasing the brilliance the business already enjoys.

The standard of quality and technical expertise is unmatched so it’s now about solidifying our presence across England and becoming the defining characteristic of building services engineering. This quality and personal touch is why the team is tackling some of the sector’s biggest challenges like regulation compliance – for example securing Gateway 2 approvals – with success and a smile.

We are also keenly aware of the skills gap within our field and are proud to be supporting accessible training pathways for the next generation, as well as encouraging career progression. We are inspired by the opportunities that lie ahead and want to promote that throughout the business, the region and the industry.”

With a strategic focus on growth across the Midlands, Carl will work closely with Birmingham Location Director Darren Wright, who has played a key role in establishing our presence in the region over the past 18 months, including a recent office move to the prestigious Colmore Business District to support team growth. Darren shared:

“While we have built a strong residential portfolio in Birmingham, this continued growth is what will enable us to branch out into new territory; life sciences, healthcare, and the soaring demand for data centres. Working seamlessly and collaboratively with Warrington, Manchester and London gives us unrivalled, collective experience. We are a safe pair of hands, offering consistency regardless of where the resource comes from.”

We’ve also strengthened our London office, welcoming 14 new team members in the past two months, and relocating to a larger space. London Location Director Peter Kirk, who has been leading operations since his appointment in August, shared:

“Our team in London benefits from deep, and longstanding client relationships that Wallace Whittle has supported through extremely complex and unusual schemes. However, we are not just relying on our past success; it is important to be focused on the future. This means continuing to deliver the quality that we are known for, being that reliable partner for new and existing clients, and making room for fresh talent.

That’s how we make sure our great reputation is only going to grow further. We have the people, the expertise, the resources, and the forward plan – and it’s by bringing that all together with our personal touch to relationships that delivers true success for clients and their projects.”

Carl added, saying:

“Wallace Whittle measures success not just by commercial growth, but by the continuous stream of repeat business, which is seen as the ultimate barometer of client satisfaction and technical delivery excellence. Our England teams are dedicated to ensuring every project serves as a vehicle for the next one, fostering engaged, long-standing relationships across the industry.”

The capability and credibility of our team is reflected in major projects such as the recommenced Smithfield regeneration in Birmingham, one of the largest schemes in the Midlands outside of HS2, and the redevelopment of the Bush House South West Wing at King’s College London, led by Kier.”
