The firm, which also has offices in Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow, will be moving from its current Liverpool address at Cotton Exchange on Bixteth Street this month to No 8 Princes Dock in Liverpool Waters

Quantity surveying and project management company Walker Sime has signed a five-year lease on 3,500 sq ft of office space at Liverpool’s Princes Dock.

The consultancy firm, which also has offices in Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow, will be moving from its current Liverpool address at Cotton Exchange on Bixteth Street this month.

The firm’s move to Princes Dock is a significant one for the consultancy firm due to its longstanding business relationship with Peel Land and Property (Ports), which manages the Liverpool Waters project.

As cost consultants and project managers for the scheme, Walker Sime has been tasked with ensuring the redevelopment of over 160 acres of Liverpool’s waterfront is delivered on time and on budget.

Derek Walker, director at Walker Sime, said: “The Liverpool Waters project is an incredibly exciting one and working with Peel as closely as we have been is a fantastic experience.

“It therefore makes sense that we would want to make our mark on the area and take on this lease. We’re proud to say that we’ve had a role in the many changes happening on Liverpool’s Waterfront, and we’re looking forward to seeing how the next stages of the project will look.”
