Harwood expands further with new Sheffield regional office

August 5, 2025

 

Harwood is pleased to announce the opening of a new regional office in Sheffield, as part of our continued expansion across the UK. This strategic development marks another milestone in Harwood’s ongoing mission to deliver high-quality, localised services and support to our growing client base.

The addition of the Sheffield office to our established regional locations in Canterbury and Milton Keynes further strengthens our position as a leading building control provider with a strong national presence. This expansion enhances our ability to offer comprehensive coverage and provide rapid responses nationwide, including key areas such as Manchester and Leeds.

Driven by strong client demand and a rapidly expanding portfolio, the opening of our Sheffield office is a testament to our dedication to consistently exceeding expectations. We remain committed to upholding the high standards of service that our clients have come to rely on.

Leading the new office will be Scott Smith, Building Control Manager, who brings over 35 years of invaluable industry experience. We look forward to introducing him to our clients. Supporting Scott will be Charlotte Turner, Building Control Surveyor, who will further enhance our team’s capabilities and regional expertise. Their combined knowledge and dedication will ensure the Sheffield office delivers the professional service expected from Harwood.

Commenting on the expansion, Ben Cheeseman, Commercial Director at Harwood, said:

“We’re excited to be opening an office in Sheffield – it aligns perfectly with our long-term growth strategy and our commitment to being where our clients need us most. This move not only strengthens our presence in the North but also reinforces our ability to deliver the responsive, high-quality service for which Harwood is known.

“We’re especially pleased to welcome Scott Smith and Charlotte Turner to the team. Scott’s extensive industry experience and leadership, combined with Charlotte’s technical expertise and enthusiasm, bring a wealth of expertise to our new Sheffield office. Together, they represent the high standards and client-focused approach that define our business, and we look forward to seeing them thrive in their new roles as we build lasting relationships in the region.”

With this latest opening, Harwood reaffirms its commitment to investing in regional capabilities while staying true to our core values of personal service, integrity, and expertise. Ben adds:

“We look forward to welcoming clients to our Sheffield office and supporting their projects and objectives with the same trusted building regulations expertise we’re known for across the UK.”

In addition to enabling us to take on more projects across the wider area, the new location will also help us attract more talented individuals to contribute to the growth of the UK construction industry. We strive to remain at the forefront of talent development by offering exciting, hands-on projects that allow our recruits to learn and progress while receiving the support necessary for continued professional development. They’ll be working alongside industry leaders and collaborating closely with our Canterbury Head Office and Milton Keynes office to drive innovation and excellence.

These are exciting times at Harwood, and we’re always keen to hear from enthusiastic individuals ready to take the next step in their careers. Whether you’re based in Kent or Sussex near our Canterbury office, in Milton Keynes, or Sheffield and the surrounding regions, we’d love to hear from you.
