Northern Enterprise Awards 2022

Property and construction consultancy, Henry Riley LLP is an industry leader in its field and works closely with companies to fully understand their objectives and maximise their potential. We find out more from Joel Neasham following the firm being recognised in the Northern Enterprise Awards 2022. With offices around the UK, across Europe, and even as far as Australia, Henry Riley is a big name in the construction consultancy industry, offering quantity surveying, project management, health & safety and advisory services. Established by Henry Riley Esq in 1890, following the success of his quantity surveying practice in London, the firm has been trading continuously ever since, growing substantially year on year. One of the reasons behind the firm’s success is its unique approach to businesswhichrevolvesaroundbeingresponsive, reliable,anddeveloping strong and ongoing relationships with clients. “We’re committed to client satisfaction,” enthuses Joel Neasham, Project Director and Newcastle Office Manager. “This underpins everything we do.” Joel has been with Henry Riley for over 15 years, carrying out the first part of his degree full-time, and then the final year whilst working at the law firm. This is a familiar pattern as Henry Riley has a loyal and passionate team and enjoys high staff retention levels, with a lot of the employees having worked for the company for several years – some even for several decades, and one for an incredible 50 years! “My role at the moment is to ensure the office runs smoothly and to give my support to the staff wherever I can,” he says. “From an office management perspective, it is key that the office runs efficiently in order to give our people the best platform to work in, whilst making it an enjoyable and comfortable environment. The ultimate aim is for the team to enjoy coming into work and to be happy in their working environment, and anything I can do to assist with this, I will look to do. I am also heavily involved in client management across our North East client base, it is important that I am actively involved in our service delivery making sure our clients get the best quality service we can deliver.” It is this dedication to the team that continues to ensure that Henry Riley distinguishes itself from competitors. At the firm, the staff members are given autonomy and a feeling of equality from the outset, no matter what their level in the business is. “This shows how staff are willing to go over and above the requirements time and time again, which is extremely well received,” Joel states. “Also, high level of repeat business and numerous referrals are testimony to the strength of our relationships, not only to our staff but to our clients, too.” The Newcastle office in particular has a “family feel” as Joel describes it, and is a dynamic office that is on an upward trajectory, but also has the corporate wrap around if required to support larger schemes and/or clients. Recently, the company was recognised in the Northern Enterprise Awards and the recipient of the prestigious accolade of Best MultiSector Construction Consultancy 2022. This title is testament to the commitment and hard work of the passionate and dedicated team. Joel gives us an insight into a couple of current projects in the offing. “We are carrying out all fire stopping to NHS Property Services building across the country, this is extremely topical at the moment. We also have Berwick & Morpeth Leisure Centre which are flagship schemes in the region.” Contact: Joel Neasham Company: Henry Riley LLP Web Address: www.henryriley.com Best Multi-Sector Construction Consultancy 2022
