An Altrincham-based consultancy has doubled its headcount and appointed a new director.

Built environment consultancy Enabl has announced the appointment of Cameron Higgs as a director following a period of sustained growth, which has seen the headcount double to 12.

The company, founded by Matt Dixon and Louis Howard four years ago, has also undergone a rebrand and website refresh as it continues to secure new business.

Louis Howard said: "The appointment of Cameron is a big moment for Enabl and brings with it a huge amount of excitement across the team.

"Our clients know that we provide senior level support at all stages of the project and having Cameron on board allows us to grow and continue to offer a truly director-led service."

Most recently leading the quantity surveying team at Bruntwood, Cameron has been involved in a wide range of schemes across various sectors.

He said: "I am really looking forward to reinforcing the success of Enabl and bolstering the established team to develop our service offering.

"Having known Louis from our university days and Matt more recently, our approach is very much aligned and I am looking forward to seeing how Enabl can help existing and new clients make exciting projects happen."

Enabl primarily works on residential projects but also has experience delivering sports, leisure, healthcare, and industrial projects, predominantly within the North West region.

The company is currently working on a number of projects, including the new St Ann’s Hospice in Cheadle with Gener8 Developments, a 100-unit residential scheme in New Cross with Cert Property, and a 225-bed hotel project in Portsmouth with Investin PLC.

Matt Dixon said: "We are delighted to be strengthening the offer at Enabl at a time when the new Government is pushing ahead with positive change within the planning and built development sector.

"Clarity in policy direction, investment within Local Authorities and interest rate cuts alongside consistency of leadership should provide developers with a more secure and long-term confidence to deliver."
