Liverpool, 10 March 2025 — Alan Johnston Partnership (AJP), one of the North West’s leading civil and structural engineering consultancies, has expanded its footprint with a new office in Birmingham. The move opens up new opportunities for businesses across Liverpool, the wider North West, and the Midlands to access an even broader range of services and specialist expertise.
Located at The McLaren Building, Birmingham, AJP’s second office strengthens its ability to support clients across regions while offering seamless service delivery on projects that span the North West and Midlands. For existing clients, the expansion means increased capacity, new services, and an even closer working relationship.
What’s new?
A 18 strong Birmingham team brings additional specialist services to complement AJP’s long-standing civil and structural engineering offer:
✅ Geo-Environmental Services – Nationwide expertise to ensure projects start on solid ground
✅ Structural Forensic Assessments – Pinpointing the root causes of defects and failures to reduce risk
✅ Expert Witness Services – Clear, concise technical support for legal cases and dispute resolution
✅ Infrastructure Engineering – Delivering future-proof designs for major infrastructure schemes
✅ NHS & Healthcare Projects – Decades of experience delivering safe, efficient, and compliant healthcare environments
For North West clients already familiar with AJP’s reputation for quality and delivery, these services offer new opportunities to partner on complex, multi-regional developments, legal cases, and specialist projects that require a proven, experienced team.
Leading AJP’s Midlands operations is Chris Storey, Midlands Director. Chris brings a deep understanding of the region’s construction landscape and will be working closely with AJP’s Liverpool-based team to ensure clients across both regions benefit from a joined-up, collaborative approach.
AJP Director, Kenny O’Brien commented:
“Our expansion into Birmingham is a natural evolution of AJP’s growth. We’ve worked hard to build trust with our North West clients, and we’re excited to offer even more value—whether through specialist services or additional project capacity. This move allows us to support clients who are working across both regions and beyond, while maintaining the same no-nonsense, high-quality engineering we’re known for.”
AJP remains committed to its roots in Liverpool while growing its reach and capacity. Clients can expect the same hands-on service, technical expertise, and relationship-driven approach that has defined AJP for decades.
The new Birmingham office is now open for business, and AJP welcomes conversations with existing and new clients about how the expanded team can support upcoming projects.
