Deeside engineering firm Betts grows team with graduates
Betts Associates, a Deeside-based civil and structural engineering consultancy, has recruited nine new graduates as it enters the most significant year of growth in its 29-year history.
Fresh from university, Benjamin England and Michael Foster have joined the firm as Graduate Engineers. James Doyle takes up a Structural Engineer position, while Cameron McLachlan and Kshitija Gaikwad join in graduate roles within the team.
The Betts Hydro team has also expanded, with Hollie Waud, Liam Davies, Jabez Thomas and Samuel Murray appointed as Graduate Flood Risk Analysts.
The company says the new recruits will strengthen its services across sectors including leisure, health, and major residential developments. The graduates will gain hands-on experience and take part in site visits, helping develop their skills and understanding of client collaboration.
The appointments follow a restructure of Betts’ management team earlier this year. New board members have been tasked with driving the firm’s growth strategy and maintaining governance standards.
Michael Foster, Graduate Engineer, said: “I’ve had my eye on civil engineering as a career for some time, having studied it at university and gaining some practical experience. It’s so rewarding knowing that you have played a part in designing, building and safeguarding the infrastructure used by people every day. Looking at the vast client portfolio of Betts, it looks like I’ve got plenty of projects to get my teeth into. And I’m confident the experienced team I will work alongside have a lot of knowledge to pass on!”
Robert Ankers, Managing Director of Betts Associates, said: “It’s an exciting time for us as we undergo a growth strategy for the business, and I’m delighted to welcome four enthusiastic youngsters who will be part of the journey.
“One thing that has remained constant for Betts over the years is investing in our people. We’re proud to see many members of our team come onboard in junior roles, build their skillsets and progress into more senior roles in the company.
“The future is bright for the sector, not least with the government working towards high housebuilding targets. At Betts, we’re also seeing a greater demand for more sustainable developments and engineering solutions, and that’s certainly something that won’t go away. It’s safe to say that our new recruits have a future-proof career ahead of them.”
Betts Associates provides civil, structural, geo-environmental and hydro engineering services, supporting projects across residential, industrial, commercial and leisure developments.
