Cumming Group, an international project and cost management consultancy, has announced the formal integration of CLoSE UK into its UK operations. Effective June 2025, CLoSE UK, a leading quantity surveying advisory firm, will now operate under the Cumming Group name—retiring its previous brand identity and signalling the next phase in its continued evolution.
Having joined Cumming Group in October 2024, the CLoSE UK team has already begun to expand its reach, recently delivering its first overseas project in the Falkland Islands. The team’s capabilities now reflect new project management offerings and extended capabilities in building surveying and asset management within the facilities management sector.
“With locations in Buckingham, Chesterfield, and London, we remain unchanged in leadership and ethos,” said Ben Allen, Managing Director. “What has changed is the scale of expertise and resources available to our clients. Being fully integrated into Cumming Group means our clients now benefit from both our local knowledge and the depth of an international organization with sector specialists across the United Kingdom and Europe.”
“CLoSE UK’s expertise in social housing and public sector programs strengthens our position in the UK market,” said Craig Maunder, Cumming Group’s CEO for the UK and Europe. Headded: “Co-locating our teams in London immediately accelerated collaboration and delivery. Since we merged with CLoSE UK, our team has continued to grow and now comprises 700 team members across the region. As one unified brand, we’re better positioned to support public sector growth initiatives as well as the growing defense sector.”
