Mott MacDonald and Cardiff University join forces to share and promote world-class consultancy and research expertise
Mott MacDonald, the global management, engineering and development
consultancy and Cardiff University have joined forces to share and
promote their world-class consultancy and research expertise.
The joint working arrangement will see the two organisations combine their consultancy expertise and leading research capabilities on a range of initiatives in sectors including health, sustainability, housing, transport, and water.
The arrangement was formally signed by representatives from both Mott MacDonald and Cardiff University last week. Representatives also met with the First Minister for Wales, Rhodri Morgan, to discuss the initiative and explain how Mott MacDonald and Cardiff University can help support the Welsh economy.
Guy Leonard, Mott MacDonald's Group Board Director said: “This new partnership will help us forge a strong, mutually beneficial relationship between the two organisations. Businesses and universities have a huge amount to learn from each other; Mott MacDonald stands to learn from Cardiff University's pioneering research, and the University aims to gain from the opportunity to exchange expertise with and obtain practical feedback from business professionals at Mott MacDonald.”
Ian Holt, Mott MacDonald’s Associate Director for the initiative, added: “The combined knowledge and thinking made possible by this initiative with Cardiff University will help us to deliver new visions and provide insightful advice to our clients, which in turn will empower them to gain a competitive advantage."
Mott MacDonald and Cardiff University are already working together on a number of projects, including the development of a health, socio-economic and environmental impact assessment study jointly commissioned by Carmarthenshire County Council, Carmarthenshire Local Health Board and the Public Health Service. The study will help raise awareness of the benefits that a major housing regeneration programme in Carmarthenshire will have on the community.
Derek Jones, Director, Business and Strategic Partnerships at Cardiff University said: “This is a very exciting development to be able to sign a joint-working arrangement with one of the world’s leading management and engineering consultancies.
“This agreement will enable Cardiff University and Mott MacDonald to share their extensive skills, knowledge and research capability in delivering management and engineering projects in all parts of the world. It will take our existing relationships a big step further.
“While much of the initial focus for the agreement will be on the exchange of skills and joint working in the engineering fields, with so many other areas of common interest - including health, education, transport, regeneration and housing - we are confident that the agreement can be much further developed enabling heightened impacts from our leading research.”
