History

Michael established his practice from home in 1982 and by 1983 had moved into offices in Dorking, Surrey to cater for an increased workload and the necessity to employ his first staff. As a result of continued expansion, a second office was opened in Sussex in the early 1990’s to cater for increasing workloads along the south coast.

Our third office was opened in Tunbridge Wells by merging with John Holden of Durleys in 1999 with the practice at that time being renamed van Klaveren Holden Partnership.

Expansion continued with the take-over in January 2003 of Douglas Rose and Partners who had been established in Tunbridge Wells since formation in 1965. The practice was renamed at that time vkhp-douglas rose and brought together combined expertise from all the offices enabling a wider range of civil and structural engineering services to be offered to our clients.

April 2008 saw the formation of a new limited company, vkhp consulting limited, retaining all our staff and offices. This restructuring paves the way for future expansion with additional directors and shareholders.
