Construction consultancy expands expertise with new acquisition

Construction consultants Baily Garner has acquired Arcus Consulting, continuing its growth plan by strengthening its ability to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients.

This move builds on Baily Garner’s strategy to grow its presence in the North of England while strengthening the services it offers clients across the UK.

Through the acquisition, Baily Garner is expanding its multidisciplinary capability, enabling faster mobilisation on complex projects, and supporting clients more fully from early advice through to delivery.

The increased geographic footprint also allows Baily Garner to provide a more joined-up service and create new career opportunities nationwide.

Arcus was chosen not only for its shared values, but for the specialist expertise it brings.

Its strong focus on practical delivery and quality strengthens Baily Garner’s ability to help clients manage complexity, reduce risk and achieve better outcomes on their projects.

Together, Baily Garner and Arcus Consulting are better placed to support clients as the built environment becomes more regulated and demanding.

Bradley Webster (pictured), managing partner of Baily Garner, said: “Arcus has built a culture around delivering high standards of client care while also prioritising the wellbeing and development of its people, making it a perfect fit for Baily Garner.

“This acquisition brings specialist expertise in quicker delivery, compliance, and site-critical roles, providing significant infrastructure, technology, and professional development opportunities for all people and partners in Arcus, supporting our joint growth ambitions and positioning us to adapt to an evolving market.”

Clive Sellers, managing partner of Arcus, said: “Baily Garner and Arcus have a joint vision to deliver excellence through client-focused solutions, and this acquisition significantly strengthens our ability to achieve it.

“It was important to us that we joined a company with a positive culture and a sustainable plan for the future, and Baily Garner has demonstrated both. We’re excited to combine our resources, expertise and ambition to tackle the challenges facing our clients.”

As part of this acquisition, Arcus Consulting LLP will become part of Baily Garner LLP. Existing relationships, contracts, and points of contact at both companies will remain unchanged.
