About Us

Hanna + Hutchinson Consulting Engineers Ltd was formed by Ciaran Hanna and John Hutchinson in November 2011, having spent 14 and 21 years respectively with international design practice Building Design Partnership Ltd, where they both rose to become Directors. This has provided them with invaluable experience in their respective fields, enabling them to deliver some of the key projects within Ireland and the UK.

Hanna + Hutchinson operate in the private and public sector, with particular experience in Education, Retail, Industrial, Residential, Leisure and Infrastructure. We have recently worked on The Grand Central Hotel, Finnebrogue factories and Windsor Baptist church. Our clients include Antrim Borough Council, the Southern Education Library Board, Graham, Farrans, NI Water, Finnebrogue, Creagh Concrete, NI Housing Executive and Friends’ School Lisburn, to mention a few. Examples of our work are shown in Sectors.

At Hanna + Hutchinson we understand that providing the best value to our clients depends on our greatest asset – the quality of our staff.  We are fortunate that our growing team is highly experienced and we currently have 7 Chartered Engineers, 2 Graduate Engineer, 2 Technicians and 1 Business Analyst.
