RPA consultancy kick off 2014 with opening of new London office
Loddon based consultancy Risk & Policy Analysts (RPA) have kicked off the new year with the announcement of the opening of a satellite office in Central London, which comes as part of their 2014 expansion drive.
The office, which is adjacent to Hatton Garden in Kirby Street, Farringdon, is ideally placed to bring the company closer to its clients based in the London area and further south, as well as provide a convenient base from which to reach major clients on the Continent, including several Directorate Generals at the European Commission in Brussels and Luxembourg, the International Manganese Institute in Paris and the European Chemicals Association in Helsinki.
Director, Meg Postle commented:
“Not only will this help us retain our high quality staff who want to move to London for personal reasons, but it also reflects our positive outlook for the company RPA in terms of growth. We feel fortunate to have established our head office in the stunning Norfolk countryside, but we’re also proud to show that the County’s businesses are well-equipped to compete in the fast-paced heart of the capital”.
The recent drive has also seen expansion in the Economics department, with the recruitment of local Economist, Shaun Da Costa, who joins the team straight from a placement with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation in Vienna, Austria.
RPA is an independent consultancy based in Norfolk, providing expert advice to both public and private sector clients around the world, assisting decision makers with the development and implementation of sustainable policies. As well as the aforementioned organisations, the team’s main clients include UK Government bodies (such as the Environment Agency, Natural England and Defra) and major EU industries.
Since its formation, RPA have been commissioned to work on more than 800 projects, covering a broad range of policy areas, including flooding and coastal erosion, chemicals and REACH compliance, impact assessment and evaluation, environmental economics, managing water, ecosystem services, and consumer policy.
