Consultants expansion brings new life to
Spring Hill House, Lincoln

An expanding firm of Lincoln civil and construction engineering consultants - Peter Cole Consultants - has moved its operation into one of the city's most interesting Victorian buildings - Spring Hill House.

The business, which employs ten people and is hoping to take on more, has relocated from converted residential premises at South Hykeham.

"We were very restricted in our previous premises and now we have the ability to spread our wings and take on more staff," said Peter Cole.

Spring Hill House was designed by William Watkins, an eminent Lincoln architect of the day who also designed the Lincoln School of Art on Lindum Hill and the Constitutional Club, and has been comprehensively refurbished by its owners, Lindsey Securities, to provide eleven individual offices on three levels.

"The building is ideal for professional office use with good on-site car parking and we are very pleased to welcome Peter Cole Consultants," said Lindsey Securities director, Robin Taylor.

"The move brings them to a more commercial location and in to a much larger building which offers opportunities for growth," said Daniel Race, partner at chartered surveyors, Hodgson Elkington, who handled the letting.
