£4.5M CONSULTANCY FRAMEWORK BOOST FOR RIVERSIDE ENVIRONMENTAL AND CELNOR GROUP
Riverside Environmental has secured a place on a prestigious £4.5 million consultancy framework for Imperial War Museums, strengthening its position within the UK’s growing heritage, infrastructure and environmental advisory sectors.
The specialist consultancy will support the delivery of development projects across the Imperial War Museums estate in partnership with fellow Celnor Group companies Brownfield Solutions and CKP Group.
The appointment marks another significant milestone for Riverside Environmental as demand continues rising for integrated environmental, heritage and infrastructure consultancy services linked to large-scale public and cultural sector projects.
Supporting One Of Britain’s Leading Cultural Institutions
Imperial War Museums is one of the UK’s most significant cultural organisations, responsible for preserving and interpreting the history of modern conflict and its impact on Britain and the Commonwealth.
Its estate includes major national attractions such as the Churchill War Rooms, HMS Belfast and the Imperial War Museum sites in London, Duxford and Manchester.
Riverside Environmental said the new framework would involve providing specialist environmental consultancy services across the museums’ estate, including surveying, fire strategy and risk assessment.
The consultancy will also work alongside Brownfield Solutions and CKP Group to provide broader environmental and infrastructure support linked to ongoing development and operational projects.
Heritage, Infrastructure And Environmental Expertise Converge
The award reflects growing demand across the heritage sector for multidisciplinary consultancy models capable of delivering integrated environmental, planning and infrastructure expertise.
Large-scale heritage organisations increasingly require specialist support not only around preservation and conservation, but also environmental compliance, estate modernisation, sustainability and public infrastructure upgrades.
Riverside Environmental said the collaboration with other Celnor Group businesses would allow the framework to draw on expertise across environmental services, geotechnical engineering and specialist surveying disciplines.
Imperial War Museums described the framework as a nationally significant project and highlighted the importance of working with consultancy partners capable of delivering specialist expertise across multiple technical areas.
“With access to skills and services across the country, and globally if needed, as part of Celnor Group, we can satisfy complex contract requirements and embark upon a broad range of exciting and diverse projects,” the organisation said.
Expanding Public Sector Consultancy Demand
The appointment comes amid increasing public investment in cultural infrastructure, estate regeneration and heritage preservation projects across the UK.
Environmental and technical consultancies have seen growing opportunities linked to museum redevelopment, public realm upgrades, sustainability compliance and infrastructure resilience.
Simon Perring, CEO and Founder of Celnor Group, said the framework demonstrated the value of collaborative consultancy delivery models.
“This high-profile framework appointment reflects the strength of the Group’s capabilities and the collaborative approach employed by the companies,” he said.
“Uniting specialist companies in the TIC sector, all of whom are entrepreneur-led, creates a unique group of experts who can effectively combine to deliver interesting and important contracts such as this.”
The win further strengthens Riverside Environmental’s profile within the public and heritage sectors as organisations increasingly seek integrated consultancy partners capable of balancing environmental compliance, infrastructure development and long-term estate sustainability.
