Norwich-based Create Consulting Engineers has launched a new structural department Create Structures, which will be based in its Norwich and London offices.

The team, led by Robert Morris, has moved over from Beattie Watkinson, a specialist structural engineering practice with offices in London and Glasgow.

Jonathan Cage, managing director, said: 'Whilst it is still a very difficult times within the construction market, I think now is the right time to prepare for the uplift in the market and ensure that you have the resources and expertise already established to meet customer's demands.

He added: 'We have had a number of clients ask if we would provide a structural service, therefore it was clear that there is a demand for a practical integrated structural design service in the region.'
