Our Journey

From a single office in 1955 to a regional leader in Caribbean engineering.

1955

The Beginning in Trinidad

CEP’s story began in 1955, when founder David Key established the first office in Trinidad under the name David Key & Partners.

1963

Expansion to Barbados

Eight years later, a new office was opened in Barbados. Soon after, Tony Gibbs took over management of the Barbados branch, guiding it until 1996. Over this time, the firm evolved from David Key & Associates into today’s Consulting Engineers Partnership Limited (CEP), officially renamed in 1974.

1969-75

Regional Growth

To meet the growing demand across the Caribbean, CEP extended its reach:

  • Grenada (1969) – Office established to support local projects.
  • Dominica (1971) – A permanent office was set up.

Engineering for Communities

Beyond structures, we focus on creating meaningful impact. From safer schools and hospitals to resilient transportation and infrastructure networks, CEP projects strengthen communities and support sustainable growth across the Caribbean.
