“We love being based in the Lake District and are passionate about delivering projects to the same scale and quality as any of our city centre offices, alongside schemes more unique to the area. Our work ranges from schools and hospitals, to private houses or cultural, historical and heritage projects. At all times we are looking for the most efficient and sustainable engineering solution. In a heritage setting, this will mean minimising the structural intervention and on a new build, we will look to minimise the material used.”
Andy Roberts, Board Director
There is level access from the riverside to our main entrance and our office has been designed to be wheelchair accessible, with wide doors and corridors, an accessible toilet with shower, and the ability to lower the counter-top in the kitchen.
If you have any further questions or would like us to help you plan your visit, please contact our team and we would be happy to support you.

For over 40 years, our Getogether has been a reminder that while we deliver engineering excellence, it's our people who make Curtins what it is. This year, colleagues from all 13 of our offices came together at Manchester's Victoria Warehouse for a day of fairground-themed challenges. The evening concluded with dinner and our annual awards, recognising those who embody our values every day. Because great businesses are built on great people.
Local authorities across the UK are under increasing pressure to deliver housing, drive economic growth and regenerate communities, often against a backdrop of constrained budgets, complex planning policy and rising development costs. By identifying risks and opportunities early, we help create viable, deliverable masterplans that support planning, maximise site value and deliver lasting benefits for communities.
Peter Thomas, Business Unit Director for Kendal, reflects on being told he’d need to leave Cumbria to build a career, a path many still follow as they pursue opportunities in larger cities. However, this has reinforced an outdated perception that rural careers are a compromise, rather than a viable and appealing choice from the outset.
