Expedition Engineering is a London-based consulting firm, delivering structural engineering services.[1]
History
Expedition Engineering was founded in 1999 by Professor Chris Wise (engineer for the Millennium Bridge, London) and Seán Walsh, both former employees at Arup.[2]
On 2 October 2008, Expedition's ownership was restructured, passing to an Employee Benefit Trust called the Useful Simple Trust.[3] The Useful Simple Trust also owns Thomas Matthews, a sustainable communication design practise ;[4] Think Up, a company specialising in engineering educational materials;[5] Useful Simple Projects, a strategic sustainability consultant, and Useful Studio an architecture design practise.[6]
