Established in 1840, Northcroft employs more than 150 staff in 10 UK offices providing cost and project management services across the construction industry.
Northcroft will become part of Capita Symonds’ management division, which is currently project managing the new Library of Birmingham and the international roll-out of new stores for Mulberry. It has also worked on schemes such as MediaCity UK and Riverside Museum, Glasgow.
Northcroft projects include a range of new build and fit-out projects for a number of clients including the restaurant chain Strada, the University of Surrey and Ulster Hospital.
Capita Symonds and Northcroft have a history of working together on a number of schemes, including a failed joint bid for Crossrail project delivery partner in 2009.
“Northcroft is a long-established name in the UK construction industry and we’re delighted to welcome its staff to our management division,” said Capita Symonds divisional operations director Colin Harvey. “We aim to scale-up our operations in preparation for the return to growth of the UK economy whilst maintaining our international expansion. Northcroft will play a significant role in us achieving this.”
Northcroft chief executive Nick Howkins added: “We are delighted and excited to be joining Capita Symonds. Northcroft recognised some time ago the need to be part of a larger organisation to unlock the opportunities being presented in the current market.”
