Press & Starkey

Managing the Future of the Built Environment

At Press & Starkey, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. For over 50 years, we have been at the forefront of project and cost management, helping our clients navigate the complexities of construction with confidence. Whether you are a private developer, a public sector body, or a heritage guardian, we provide the bespoke oversight needed to bring ambitious visions to life.

Our strength lies in our relationships. We are a limited liability partnership built on trust, repeated delivery, and a commitment to exceeding expectations. When you hire us, you aren't just getting a consultant; you are getting a partner dedicated to the long-term success of your assets.

From Grade 1 Listed Landmarks to Modern Innovation

Our track record is as diverse as the clients we serve. We have a particular passion for the Culture & Heritage sector, having delivered award-winning restorations of Grade 1 listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments, such as the iconic Iron Bridge in Telford.

However, our expertise extends far beyond conservation. We are equally at home in high-tech environments and community-focused developments:

• Education: We delivered the visionary Tidemill Academy, co-locating education and community facilities.
• Sport & Leisure: We have provided project and cost management for over 50 venues nationwide.
• Pharmaceutical & Research: We support clients at the cutting edge of medical research, including the Biodata Innovation Centre.
• Commercial & Residential: We provide full-suite services for developers, owner-occupiers, and tenants alike.

Led by Decades of Senior Expertise

We believe that experience matters. Our team is led by seasoned professionals who bring a hands-on approach to every instruction.

Our leadership team includes Robert Baker, our Senior Partner with over 30 years at the practice, and Patrick Pepper, who brings 40 years of experience in Quantity Surveying and Development Monitoring. With consultants like Peter Wilson and Trevor Groom—who each boast four decades in the industry—we offer a depth of knowledge that is rare in the modern market.

Comprehensive CDM and Project Advisory

Beyond the budget and the timeline, we ensure your project is safe and compliant. Our CDM Advisory service has evolved alongside national regulations, allowing us to act as Principal Designer or independent advisors. We assist designers and clients in fulfilling their statutory duties under the CDM Regulations 2015, providing rigorous Health & Safety reviews to protect your project and your people.
