WSP Middle East MD Tom Bower is confident about growth in 2012.

Technical consultancy WSP Middle East expects to increase its staffing level from 350 at present "to around 500 people over the next two to three years," according to MD Tom Bower.

Part of this growth is due to the consultancy’s burgeoning low-cost design centres in India and the Philippines. “We see the 500-person growth here in the Middle East being complemented by our low-cost or complementary resources centre in India. That could easily be another 200 people to the Middle East business over time,” predicts Bower.

Looking back on 2011, Bower acknowledges that this was a challenging year for the consultancy. “I think it has been a better year than our previous two, which you can say were the post-boom years, so that is good. We are encouraged and definitely optimistic about 2012, and where we see 2012 moving.”
