Honouring the legacy, inspiring the future 50 years ago, a bold idea took root at Cundall: that engineering could be a force for good. What began as a small British consultancy with a big vision has grown into a global community of over 1,300 people, all united by a shared purpose – to engineer a better, more sustainable world.

We have officially opened our new headquarters in Bank House, a recent addition to Newcastle city centre’s skyline. The move marks nearly 50 years since the practice launched its first office in Newcastle in 1976. Located on the 10th floor, the office boasts 360-degree views of Newcastle upon Tyne, a city whose development we have played a key role in shaping over nearly five decades.
In July 2023, we made a bold public commitment to Zero Carbon Design 2030 (ZCD2030), an initiative that will ultimately ensure all our projects meet our science-based targets aligned zero carbon design criteria by the end of the decade. In our ambition to integrate ZCD2030 across Cundall, we have embarked on a journey that has significantly transformed our company culture and governance, approach to design, and how we upskill our people to enable success. Now, two years after making the commitment, and five from reaching the 2030 deadline we set ourselves, we can look back on our progress so far, the challenges we’ve faced and mistakes we’ve made, and how we plan on using everything we have learned along the way to move forward. Last year, we refined our milestones for our goal of aligning with Science Based Targets. We did this to ensure our projects are on a science-based pathway and are consistent with the Paris Agreement’s long-term goal to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels."
