About Us

We’re Different through Design – exceptional service and excellent design go hand and hand to make us different, that’s why our clients love us.

Millward has been trading for over 30 years as an integrated engineering consultancy working across multiple sectors of construction. Our team solve complex challenges and add value through innovative solutions, from pre-planning to completion. The bulk of our business consists repeat clients, defining Millward as a trusted engineering consultancy who continuously perform and become part of the wider client team. Our history remains an important feature – we continuously change and evolve with the industry to deliver and promote innovation – but at our core, service is just as important as it is today as it was in 1993.

By building our own foundations and promoting customer-centric solutions, we have organically grown and continue to evolve:
