Bicester company opens new Welsh office in Cardiff

Dalcour Maclaren made the move in response to rising demand for infrastructure, renewables, and water projects across Wales.

James Neil, CEO at Dalcour Maclaren, said: “Wales is an extremely important country for Dalcour Maclaren as we are already involved helping many clients in both the water, energy and infrastructure sectors.

“We are really excited to be opening this office, which will strengthen and grow our DM ONETEAM within Cardiff to deliver Wales’ ambitious infrastructure agenda.”

Dalcour Maclaren already works with organisations including Welsh Water and National Grid.

It is currently supporting projects such as Welsh Water’s Cello telemetry schemes, National Grid substation expansion projects, and work across AMP8 frameworks with Severn Trent and Hafren Dyfrdwy.

The expansion strengthens the company’s ability to deliver integrated land, planning and environmental services locally, alongside the introduction of the Infrastructure (Wales) Act, which is reshaping how projects are planned and delivered.

Sean Taylor, technical director for environment and planning at Dalcour Maclaren, said: “The Infrastructure (Wales) Act introduces a more streamlined and consistent approach to consenting major projects.

“That creates opportunity but also requires a clear strategy and understanding of the process from the outset.”

Dalcour Maclaren is also involved in major renewable energy projects, including offshore wind developments Mona and Awel y Môr.
