Hydrock expands transport team

Engineering and remediation business Hydrock has grown its Manchester team with the appointment of Chris Rushton as senior transport planner from SCP.

Rushton, who has worked at both SCP and JMP Consulting as a transport planner, joined Hydrock’s office at the beginning of November. He has 11 years’ experience in the industry having also worked for Highways England.

Hydrock’s Manchester transportation team leader Sam Denby said: “Chris’ arrival coincides perfectly with a continued increase in demand for Hydrock’s transportation services in the North West and beyond.

“I look forward to Chris’ input to some very high-profile work regionally and nationally. His expertise means that he is well placed to advise clients in a rapidly-changing transportation environment, and his skills will be a real asset to our teams across the UK”.

Hydrock relocated its Manchester office to the Northern Assurance Buildings in the summer, moving from serviced offices at Hardman Square.

Manchester is one of the company’s 17 UK locations. It also has an office in Hale, Altrincham.
