Allnorth continues its rapid expansion across Canada with the opening of an office in Victoria, BC

"New office will expand and leverage the company's network of planning and engineering professionals who specialize in the Infrastructure sector"

VANCOUVER, April 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Allnorth Consultants Limited (Allnorth), a leading provider of engineering and technical services for hundreds of public and private sector clients around the globe, announced today that it has opened its first branch office in Victoria, British Columbia.

The opening of a Victoria office means Allnorth is now strategically located to better serve clients in the Infrastructure sector as it competes for contracts within the initial phases of projects, which will ultimately foster additional engineering and technical service opportunities down the line.

Felice Mazzoni, MCIP, a seasoned Planner with 17 years of experience, will manage the Victoria office. Felice will lead the Planning Services group for Allnorth nationally. Felice began his career in 1995 as a Land Use Planner for the Peace River Regional District in Fort St. John. In 1999, he became the Director of Planning Services, Deputy Approving Officer for the District of Ucluelet. Until recently, he was the primary manager for Planning Services to the Province of British Columbia at a large multi-disciplinary engineering company.

"Our expansion into Victoria and the hiring of Felice Mazzoni offers an enormous opportunity for Allnorth to leverage our national network of experienced Infrastructure professionals and increase our diverse set of services to include planning," said Darby Kreitz, President and CEO of Allnorth. "Felice's unique and innovative planning accomplishments have earned him both professional recognition and many awards. This announcement is yet another milestone in our continued expansion plan."

The Victoria office officially opens its doors on April 23, 2012 and will be hiring for a variety of professional and administration job openings.
