Pick Everard is a UK-based multi-disciplinary consultancy, operating primarily in the built environment. The company was founded in Leicester in 1866 as an engineering and architectural practice. It has since grown to become a national practice with over 600 employees and 15 UK offices including a head office in Leicester and offices in Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Manchester.




History


Pick Everard was founded by John Breedon Everard, a civil engineer in 1866 at 6 Millstone Lane, Leicester. Samuel Perkins Pick, an architect joined John Breedon Everard as his assistant in 1882 and as a partner in 1888.
John Breedon Everard was the son of Breedon Everard, the joint founder of the quarrying and mining business Ellis and Everard Ltd (later Aggregate Industries). He was the nephew of the brewer William Everard and in 1875 he designed a new tower brewery for Everards Brewery at Southgate St, Leicester.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Bernard Everard (son of John Breedon Everard) became a partner of the firm, which changed its name to Everard, Son and Pick. William Keay, a civil engineer who worked for Everard, Son and Pick became a partner circa 1920 and in 1925, Martin Gimson, a civil engineer became the fourth partner, changing the firm's name to Pick, Everard, Keay and Gimson. The company today is called Pick Everard.
In October 2024, 700-strong Pick Everard was acquired by Artelia, a French project management and cost consultant. Artelia had previously acquired Birmingham-based Austin Newport Group in 2020, and Suffolk-based Castons in March 2024. With Pick Everard, Artelia now had almost 1,000 UK staff, and 9,700 staff worldwide.
