A delay and quantum analysis firm founded by former Davis Langdon directors in October is on course to turn over up to 拢1m in its first full year of trading.

Time | Quantum Expert Forensics (TQEF) co-founders Christopher Ennis and David Halford told 黑洞社区 they had enjoyed a 鈥渟trong鈥� first six months of trading. Roughly half of TQEF鈥檚 work is on overseas jobs.

Ennis and Halford are supported by two associates and they plan to recruit a further two associates by the end of the year.

Halford specialises in time delay analysis, while Ennis specialises in quantum (assessment of damages).

TQEF was one of two firms founded at the time Aecom closed DL鈥檚 legal support division. The other 鈥� Tempus Delay Analysis 鈥� was founded by former DL director Ian Robinson and five of his team.

The co-founders said they 鈥渄idn鈥檛 want to grow too quickly and lose quality鈥�. They said there was a 鈥渇light to quality鈥� in the delay / quantum analysis market and 鈥渃lients are coming to us because we offer a personal service鈥�.

The co-founders said conflict of interest checks at Aecom had frequently prevented them from getting involved in jobs because of 拢5bn-turnover Aecom鈥檚 vast array of commercial interests, which led ultimately to the need for a mutually-agreed departure, but conflict checks 鈥渘ow take two or three seconds鈥�.
