Loring Consulting Engineers Achieves MBE Status


After attaining majority minority status in 2024 and with receipt of its formal MBE certification last month, Loring is among the largest and longest-standing building systems engineering firms to achieve this designation in New York City.

Throughout its nearly 70 years as a leader in mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection engineering, Loring has been fueled by the belief that differences foster innovation, creativity, and a broad range of ideas, ultimately leading to better decision-making and business outcomes. The firm has realized milestones both in employee and leadership representation: more than 56% of employees—and 54% of senior leadership—come from traditionally underrepresented minorities, including Black and Asian-Pacific Islander.



“I am so proud to be at the helm of Loring in this moment, and I don’t take for granted the heights I’ve been able to reach here. We will continue to exemplify our principle that fostering an environment of belonging for all is good business, and to do the excellent work Loring is known for—now with even greater opportunities to take the lead on critical projects that shape the lives of so many,” says Gayle.

 “For Loring, MBE certification is a reflection of our continued commitment to hire the best talent wherever it exists and promote from within,” says Loring Principal and Executive Committee Member Steve Kenah.
