More than 12 months after its 拢29m takeover of Sweett Group, Currie & Brown has announced it will be opening a new central London office.

All of the company鈥檚 London-based employees, including former Sweett staff, will be working out of the one building, which is one of 20 integrated offices the company uses.

Currie & Brown bought Sweett in September 2016 after beating WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff鈥檚 takeover offer of 拢24m made in May last year.

The shift will see 250 employees move into the new offices at 40 Holborn Viaduct, London. The Rolfe Judd Architects-designed building opened back in 2008 and was built by Balfour Beatty.

Alan Manuel, chief operating officer for UK and Europe, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to be consolidating one of our principal offices into modern, central accommodation.鈥
