A&B Engineering Completes The Mere

A&B Engineering is incredibly proud to celebrate the completion of The Mere, a fantastic development delivered in partnership with Russell WBHO.

Our team was responsible for delivering the full mechanical and electrical services for the project. Seeing the completed development is an extremely rewarding moment and reflects the hard work, expertise and dedication demonstrated throughout every stage of delivery.

From the initial planning stages through to final completion, The Mere showcased the value of strong collaboration, clear communication and a shared commitment to achieving the highest standards.

Projects of this scale and quality are only possible through the efforts of a committed and professional team. We would therefore like to thank everyone who contributed to the successful delivery of the development.

A special thank you goes to Paul Pemberton, Building Services Manager, Richard Sumner and the entire Russell WBHO team for the opportunity to work alongside them. We greatly appreciate their continued support and collaboration throughout the project.

Congratulations to everyone involved. We are proud to have played our part in bringing The Mere to life and look forward to working with Russell WBHO again in the future.

We are looking back at a fantastic afternoon at the Place North West Property Lunch in Manchester, which A&B Engineering was proud to sponsor alongside Lexington and Trowers & Hamlins. The event brought together professionals from across the North West property sector for insightful discussions, valuable networking and a shared focus on the future of the region. Julia Hatmaker expertly hosted the panel discussion, with Tom Stannard, Hugh Frost and Katie Saunders sharing their perspectives on the opportunities, challenges and future outlook for the North West property market. At A&B Engineering, we believe mechanical and electrical services are the heartbeat and lungs of every successful building. Behind every great development is an M&E infrastructure that allows it to operate efficiently, sustainably and safely. Being involved in major schemes across the Northwest, and engaging with industry leaders through organisations such as Place North, is therefore extremely important to us. The event also provided an opportunity to celebrate the renewal of our Partner Pro partnership with Place North for another year. Through this partnership, we continue to support industry events, build new relationships, share knowledge and contribute to the growth of the North West property community. We were delighted to welcome guests from Krol Corlett Group, McLaren Construction Group and Willmott Dixon. It was a pleasure to share the afternoon with them, and we greatly value their continued support and partnership. A special thank you also goes to Dino Moutsopoulos and the Place North team for organising such an enjoyable and valuable event.

A&B Engineering is proud to announce the successful completion of the Evo Dental Lab project, delivered in collaboration with The Consortia Group. The specialist nature of the facility made this an exciting project for our team and another excellent example of the diverse environments in which we work. Whether we are supporting the delivery of a specialist dental laboratory, a commercial fit-out or a large-scale industrial facility, we approach every project with the same commitment to quality, precision and partnership. No two projects at A&B Engineering are ever the same. This variety allows our teams to apply their expertise across numerous sectors while helping clients transform their ideas into high-quality completed spaces. Most importantly, we value the relationships built throughout every project. The trust placed in us by our clients and delivery partners is something we never take for granted. We would like to thank Stephanie Whittick and the entire team at The Consortia Group for their excellent collaboration. We are delighted with the completed project and look forward to working together again in the future.

A&B Engineering is incredibly proud of, Sarra Boumellil, who successfully climbed Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) while representing the company and raising funds for Little Lights Liverpool. The challenge began at 3:00am, with the group climbing through the darkness using head torches before reaching the summit at approximately 6:30am. The climb was both physically and mentally demanding, particularly as it was Sarra’s first mountain challenge, but she showed incredible determination and successfully made it to the summit. Sarra received fantastic encouragement from the entire group throughout the climb. A special thank you also goes to mountain guide Craig Birch, whose patience and support ensured that nobody was left behind. Every step was taken in support of Little Lights and its important work helping children and families when they need it most. We would like to thank the Little Lights team, Sky Blue Adventures, everyone at A&B Engineering and every person who donated, shared or supported the fundraising. Congratulations, Sarra, an incredible achievement for a truly meaningful cause!

Throughout September, A&B Engineering is supporting Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and encouraging open conversations around mental health and wellbeing. Within the construction and engineering industries, pressures are not always visible. Creating a workplace where people feel comfortable speaking openly, checking in with colleagues and asking for support is therefore incredibly important. At A&B Engineering, we see ourselves as more than colleagues—we are a working family. We are committed to looking out for one another, listening without judgement and offering support through both the positive and more difficult times. Sometimes, a simple question such as “Are you okay?” can be the beginning of an important conversation. As part of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and World Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September, we are reminding everyone across our offices, project sites and the wider industry of the importance of checking in with those around them. Supporting mental health is not limited to one day or one month. At A&B Engineering, we will continue working to create an environment where everyone feels valued, supported and able to speak when they need help. Talk. Listen. Check in. Support one another. No one should have to face difficult times alone.
