Americas

We’re here to support you across the Americas

Our work is as diverse as the region itself: from building new embassies in the Caribbean, to one-to-one hurricane preparedness training, and from Diplomatic Bag movement to asset management surveys.

Our teams are creative, dedicated and pragmatic, helping clients to ensure that front-line diplomacy can take place across the Americas. Our customer service ethos is built on a commitment to being reliable and responsive and forging strong client relationships.

If there’s a crisis, such as damage from a natural disaster, we have technical officers based in embassies and missions throughout the region. Even if they are not based where you need them, they can be there in a matter of hours. Our officers have broad skillsets so that they can deal with a wide range of issues.

We work closely with departments based in the UK to ensure that centrally delivered projects in our region are completed efficiently. Our teams in the UK include architects, interior designers, surveyors, project managers and technicians with extensive experience on government projects.

If you need to speak to someone about your project urgently, our senior regional management team are based at the British Embassy in Washington DC.
