30 Second Briefing
SLR Consulting has expanded its London and South-East operation with senior hires including transport and mobility planning director and London lead Shelley Dix, planning technical director and London lead Andrew Munton, and London EIA lead Chris Ellis, alongside masterplanning and urban design director Colin James. Dix will build London transport and mobility planning capability and link into SLR’s national team of over 100 transport planners and specialists. Ellis will focus on EIAs for large residential, commercial, mixed-use, brownfield, greenfield and data centre schemes, strengthening integrated planning and environmental services.
Technical Brief
- Investment centres on London, South-East and East of England operations under business lead Peter Leonard.
- Senior hires span transport planning, EIA, masterplanning, urban design and sustainable infrastructure disciplines in one regional cluster.
- Chris Ellis’ remit explicitly covers EIAs for data centre schemes as well as strategic masterplans.
- Brownfield and greenfield large-scale residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes are a core EIA workload focus.
Our Take
SLR Consulting appears repeatedly in our recent coverage on mining and regeneration projects – from heap leach support at Integra Resources’ DeLamar project in Idaho to advisory roles on Glasgow’s £160m Chinatown redevelopment – signalling that the expanded London and South-East transport team is being built on top of an already diversified project pipeline.
With more than 100 specialists in its national transport and mobility team, SLR’s London-focused investment positions the firm to compete directly with larger multidisciplinary consultants in the UK Infrastructure segment, which dominates our 918-story infrastructure corpus.
Shelley Dix’s 26 years of transport and development planning experience, when combined with SLR’s existing work on complex brownfield and closure projects highlighted in our database, suggests the London team will be well placed to handle multi-phase urban regeneration schemes where transport, land-use planning and legacy asset constraints intersect.
