Engineering the Future

The team of senior professionals at Rolton combine a wealth of experience and expertise gained through working with some of the world’s greatest businesses across a wide range of industry sectors for over 45 years.

About Us

“We deliver the most significant capital projects in the UK, to influence our future society for the better”.

Sectors

Over several decades we have established relationships with some of the world’s most prestigious automotive manufacturers, globally recognisable retail organisations, the UK’s largest housing developers, and its most esteemed higher education establishments. It is no secret that these corporations are extremely discerning, and we are proud to meet the highest standard of service.

Automotive

From feasibility to fully functional facilities, the Rolton team have used their expertise to design and reconfigure bespoke buildings for automotive OEMs and retailers.

Whether in support of the installation of new press lines and plant equipment, remodelling of technical areas (like logistics, assembly or test facilities), creation of new research and development facilities (such as Jaguar Land Rover’s award-winning Group Design & Engineering Centre), or the delivery of strategic energy advice, our engineers have supported a variety of prominent clients in partnership for many years including Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, Honda, Ford and Rolls-Royce.

Commercial

The recent COVID 19 pandemic forced businesses to change how they view office space.

Hybrid working models have been adopted by companies across a broad range of sectors and as a result has influenced how offices are used.

Recognising the benefits of face-to-face meetings with colleagues to help share ideas and grow together, highlights the demand for a more flexible workspace. 

Data Centre & AI

Data Centre & AI are becoming one of the most accelerated growth areas in the construction and engineering sectors, generating the demand for power and technical solutions.

Rolton recently coordinated a multi-billion-pound deal for a new data centre campus with a global property development company, who own QTS a data centre operator with sites across the world.

Education

We recognise the importance of providing safe, healthy, and supportive environments for children and young adults to learn and develop, and our work in the education sector helps deliver these key demands. 

Whether it’s a new build project, a recent example was providing engineering services for Buntingford School, the first net zero carbon school in the county, through to delivering decarbonisation projects for De Montfort University in Leicester, our teams provide innovative solutions successfully delivering projects across the UK.

Energy

Energy is one of Rolton’s many passions and we help our clients on long-term energy transition journeys.

Our focus is on making energy greener and reducing emissions by improving the sustainability of the built environment. We do this through a holistic approach using Strategic Energy, Sustainability and high quality MEP design.

Health

The demands placed on healthcare services continues to challenge providers.  These include greater access for patients, more flexible, adaptable spaces and healthy and safe environments all whilst having to manage rising costs and reduced resources. 

Our engineers understand these challenges and our experience can help provide innovative, client focused design delivering successful healthcare projects.

Industrial Manufacturing

The industrial manufacturing sector is diverse and covers a range of operations including logistics, warehousing, life sciences and advanced manufacturing.  Recently, this sector has experienced high growth due to the demand for high technological manufacturing facilities, increased production capacity, through to the need of efficient and effective distribution centres supporting online shopping.

Leisure

Our focus on delivering sustainable engineering solutions, means we are the partner of choice on a variety of projects within the leisure industry.  Recognising the importance of a healthy work life balance, the demand for facilities and spaces where people can relax, socialise, play sport and enjoy their downtime continues to grow.

Residential

Rolton have been successfully delivering projects for key developers across the UK. 

Our multi-disciplinary engineering team provides a complete service from initial pre-acquisition site evaluation, detailed geotechnical geo-environmental engineering, civil and infrastructure design through to our structural team developing sustainable, economic and project specific foundation designs.

Retail

We’re proud of our track record and continuing support of clients across the UK in this dynamic sector. Our team provide engineering designs and consultancy to help deliver and maintain retail spaces that carefully consider sustainability, energy efficiency, occupant comfort and ever-changing consumer trends – all with minimal disruption to visitors and retail operations.

Retail has changed significantly over the past 10 years.  The continued growth in online shopping, the closure of flagship retailers on the high street and the overall downturn in footfall has presented some very challenging conditions.
