The Spanish Chamber of Commerce was delighted to welcome Rimkus as a Patron this year.
Rob Coupe, Managing Director EMEA at Rimkus
Could you provide a brief overview of Rimkus and its presence in the UK market?
Rimkus is a worldwide provider of engineering, technical, and construction consulting to corporations, insurance companies, law firms, and government agencies. Rimkus experts specialise in forensic consulting, dispute resolution and construction management services, solutions for the built environment, and human factors support for the consumer, industrial, and healthcare industries.
For more than 40 years, the company’s professional engineers, architects, scientists, and technical specialists have been recognised for their commitment to service excellence by local, national, and international business communities.
With a network of over 110 offices globally, Rimkus serves the UK and Europe markets through our strategically located offices in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Dublin. Combining our local expertise with global insights enables our clients to make informed decisions and secure successful outcomes in their legal and technical challenges.
As a new Patron of the Chamber, what benefits do you hope to gain from our collaboration?
Rimkus aims to strengthen its existing relationships within the UK and Europe business communities and gain greater visibility in the construction, infrastructure, and energy sectors in Spanish markets. We aim to build new strategic relationships, expand our professional network, and remain informed on the latest developments shaping the market. We are confident that our collaboration with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce will play a vital role in supporting our growth ambitions across the Spanish and LATAM markets. We look forward to contributing to the advancement of business
relations between Spanish and UK/Europe-based organisations.
What key values define your company, and how are these values integrated into your daily operations and customer interactions?
At Rimkus, our core values are integrity, accountability, commitment, and teamwork. These principles are deeply ingrained into every aspect of our daily operations and interactions, and guide how we communicate with our people and clients. We commit to upholding the highest ethical standards, striving for integrity, impartiality, and transparency by encouraging open communication and providing evidence-based solutions across our expert analyses and consultancy services.
Accountability and integrity are important for our field. We have to ensure that we are honestly and candidly looking at all the facts that are available in every case to enable us to provide evidence-based, unbiased opinions.
The culture we promote at Rimkus is teamwork and collaboration. We have the unique ability to cross-pollinate multiple disciplines within the same project, with our experts working across multiple locations to deliver multi-faceted solutions to our clients.
Our commitment to innovation allows us to constantly improve the tools and methods that our experts use to assist their clients.
How does Rimkus differentiate itself from competitors in the UK and Europe construction sectors, and what specific strategies do you employ to enhance your market position?
Rimkus brings together a team of over 1,000 experts, each with 15 to 20 years of proven
experience across public and private sectors.
Rimkus boasts a geographical footprint of over 110+ offices in 80 countries enhancing cultural and regulatory awareness by offering local knowledge in regional regulations, cultural nuances, and market dynamics.
Another major differentiator is our multi-disciplinary service offering, a ‘one-stop-shop’ for a diverse range of engineering and technical needs, enabling cross-regional knowledge sharing across multiple practice areas and reducing the need for multiple vendors.
We have a long-standing reputation for quality, dependability, and customer service.
What is Rimkus vision for the future, and what specific strategies or actions are you implementing to achieve it?
Rimkus’s vision is to be a worldwide leader in engineering and technical consulting. We do not see barriers or limitations; instead, we see opportunities and possibilities.
We will continue to invest in innovation and technology, adopting advanced methodologies to enhance our forensic engineering, dispute resolution, and consultancy capabilities, and foster a culture of excellence for our people through ongoing training and collaboration to tackle emerging industry challenges.
Our goal is to increase our market share and drive company expansion through both acquisition and organic growth by providing industry-leading solutions. Client-centric solutions and best-in-class service remain our focus, as we tailor services to deliver effective outcomes.
Rimkus will continue to contribute positively to our communities, guided by ethical and transparent principles, through our evolving focus on ESG and CSR initiatives.
