Pope Consulting Ltd was founded in 1999 by Derrick Pope, who began the company from home before establishing our offices in Chichester. Through his vision, determination, and unwavering commitment to quality, Derrick laid the foundation for what has become a well-respected and trusted engineering practice in the region.

A pioneer in sustainable design, Derrick championed low-carbon technologies and innovative engineering solutions long before they became industry standards. His forward-thinking approach and dedication to environmental responsibility continue to shape the company’s values and direction.

Derrick’s legacy lives on in the culture of Pope Consulting — a firm that remains committed to excellence, innovation, and sustainability. We are proud to continue building on the strong foundation he created.
