The business
Call us on 01780 482200 for more information on the business and the services that we offer.
Niall has operated at a senior level since1998 and at director level since helping to found Arctica in 2001. His time working for commercial clients on tight programmes has generated considerable experience of managing projects during the construction phase. This has led to the development of an organised and disciplined approach whilst still maintaining a robust design focus.
Having gained a wealth of experience with computer aided design packages early in his career, Niall’s role now encompasses all aspects of making sure that Arctica provides the up to date IT facilities expected from a leading multi-disciplinary design consultancy.
Jonathan has worked in the food industry for over 25 years and at executive level since 2003. His career experiences cover engineering management, project management, process design, business improvement and operational management. His last ‘factory’ role was as manufacturing manager at a Waitrose-dedicated prepared salads business for Bakkavör.
Our philosophy
We provide a ‘can do’ attitude, unhindered by past experiences and complacency.
We undertake commissions with an enthusiastic, personal approach, and with hands-on director input.
Food processing buildings are our core business, but we have a wealth of experience in delivering projects across other sectors such as industrial, infrastructure and education.
At Arctica we are helping to shape the future of industrial development. Our architectural design services are at the forefront of process engineering buildings, civil and logistics projects, educational buildings and commercial architectural services.
To provide this level of service to our clients, all our staff must be well versed in current regulations and industry standards across all the sectors in which we operate..
We know that the success of your project relies on compliance. Our range of services and expertise in food processing, education and industrial infrastructure including marine architecture and energy from waste plants puts Arctica in a unique position to be involved in standards setting.
We are involved in standards setting for compliance with EHEDG, BRC and BRS. This includes working with industry bodies such as Campden BRI and the Food Standards Agency to help shape the mass of regulations and codes of practice that govern food production, processing and distribution and how they apply to the design and construction of food processing plants.
