Warrington-headquartered Boulting has rebranded as BGEN as part of the company’s ambitious growth plans that include recruiting more than 200 employees.

The specialist, multi-discipline engineering solutions business, has appointed a new chief executive to oversee proposals which include a recruitment drive. 

This is to support a significant planned increase in turnover, alongside the opening of a new operation in Africa as the company expands its global footprint.

BGEN, with a mindset focussed on next generation engineering, has promoted Robin Whitehead from managing director of its technology business unit to chief executive of the new operation.

The next 12 months will see BGEN look to expand its workforce from 860 to more than 1,000 employees, and hit an annual increased turnover in the region of £175m.  

The company is looking to recruit a number of positions, from mechanical engineers and electricians to design engineers and technical project managers, as the company continues to service its existing client base whilst expanding operations.
