A. Lamb Associates had a fantastic evening at the In-Cumbria awards.
We were delighted and honoured to be nominated for the Best Cumbrian SME award and pass on our congratulations to the winner of the category – Cumbria Wildflowers.
The event was held at the fabulous Dalston Hall near Carlisle and attended by our Commercial Director Byron Tyson and Associate Director Nigel Jackson.
Below is the extract from the nomination:
A Lamb Associates a distinguished Cumbrian construction consultancy, has experienced significant growth in recent years, largely due to a successful strategic plan implemented by its directors.
The “ALA25” business plan, launched in 2021 to commemorate the company’s 25th anniversary, outlined a clear vision for future success while maintaining the firm’s commitment to quality and core values.
The “ALA25” plan has achieved remarkable results. Directly employed staff numbers surged from 18 in 2021 to 48 by 2024 and revenue has increased from £1.9 million in 2022 to £3.5 million in 2023.
The company has prioritised training and development, significantly expanding the number of employees with chartered memberships, postgraduate degrees, and other professional qualifications.
ALA has also established a successful degree apprenticeship scheme in partnership with Queen Elizabeth School, Kirkby Lonsdale, currently supporting six apprentices with dedicated mentors.
The company’s expertise in cross-country water and gas pipelines has led to membership in the international trade association IPLOCA and secured major projects in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
A pivotal development was the acquisition of Morham and Brotchie Partnership a renowned Edinburgh-based firm known for its traditional quantity surveying expertise.
Looking ahead, ALA’s directors have developed the “Beyond25” business plan, aiming to build on the successes of “ALA25” with a focus on sustainable and managed growth, profitability, and maintaining high standards
