ABOUT US
Thomas Consulting has developed a strong reputation within the industry providing technical services and construction guidance on a variety of building structures.
Whether working directly for the client, architect or principal contractor or engaged by the sub-contractor, we provide a diverse range of engineering services to facilitate the construction of building structures which continue to become increasingly complex.
We work collaboratively with all stakeholders on the project to meet the requirements of all parties.
A working understanding of the requirements of our clients in conjunction with an ability to communicate effectively translates into a collaborative approach.
Thomas Consulting’s roots go back to 1979, when W H Thomas and Partners was set up by a group of engineers from the Telford Development Corporation. Bill Thomas, Geoff Charlton, Julian Bishop and Colin Pountney grew the business through the 1980’s venturing North and opening a new office in Preston. Growth continued in the West Midlands through acquisition of the Alan Garbutt Partnership in Cannock.
Further expansion saw the opening of the Lancaster office in 1994 under the auspices of the recently joined Phil Howden. Since 1998 the Lancaster office has provided consulting engineering services to Heysham Power Station; a relationship that continues to this day and has evolved to encompass other highly regulated clients.
Over the years W H Thomas and Partners has modernised and evolved into the Thomas Consulting of today; from the grand purchase of our first desktop computer in 1984 we have continued to invest in our software and staff. We have capabilities in seismic design, finite element analysis (FEA) and building information modelling (BIM).
