Project Centre opens new Ashford office

Due to continued growth, Project Centre has opened its new Kent office in Ashford, with 26 workstations and capacity for over 40 colleagues to be based on site. The location is testament to the work the company is doing with the county, unitary and district councils in Kent and the potential opportunities it has identified with other clients in Ashford and the surrounding area.

The office was opened with fanfare, with Kent County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, David Brazier, speaking about his hopes for the future and the optimism he shares with Project for this partnership. He also joined Managing Director of Project Centre, Keith Hanshaw in cutting the ribbon to mark the official opening of the new office.

Keith Hanshaw, Managing Director of Project Centre, said: “We are delighted to officially open our Ashford office today. Kent is benefitting from a wealth of investment and regeneration which will continue to transform the area into a thriving destination for residents and visitors, and we are proud to be playing our part. We are excited to work with local students, employ local people and support local businesses in the area to maximise potential, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Kent County Council, Medway Council, the district, towns and parish councils and the wider industry.”

Just last year, Project Centre was awarded a place on Kent County Council’s Highways, Transportation and Waste Professional Service Framework which is a three-year contract to deliver highways, engineering, and transportation projects across the county, and more recently they have been awarded a place on Medway Council’s Framework to provide civil and structural engineering consultancy services.
