AECOM has announced it has acquired Scotland-based Allen Gordon LLP, a leading provider of technical design and advisory services to the U.K. & Ireland (UK&I) water and energy sectors.
The global infrastructure firm said the addition of the Allen Gordon team further enhances AECOM’s positioning ahead of substantial expected investment totalling more than £250 billion over the next decade in the water and energy markets across the region.
Richard Whitehead, chief executive of AECOM’s Europe & India region said:
“We are delighted to have the Allen Gordon team join AECOM at a critical moment when spending is expected to accelerate across the water and energy markets.
“Allen Gordon has trusted relationships with key clients across the region and maintains substantial framework capacity from repeat clients that provides tremendous opportunities for growth.”
Founded in 1971, the Allen Gordon team brings multi-decade relationships with the largest and most critical growth clients in the region, including leading water utilities and renewable energy clients. With the addition of the Allen Gordon team, AECOM said its UK&I Water and Energy teams are even better positioned to strengthen its offering with its existing client base.
“We are excited to welcome the Allen Gordon team to AECOM,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business. “We have an extensive history of collaborating together to support the most critical projects in the region. We have a stated goal of doubling our water business globally over the next five years, and the addition of the Allen Gordon team strengthens our offering in one of the fastest growing markets in the world.”
Stephen Munro, a Partner of Allen Gordon commented:
“We are energized by the growth opportunities in our markets, and with AECOM’s scale and expertise we are even better situated to capitalize and deliver for our clients,” said. “By joining the world’s number one-ranked water design firm, we will leverage our combined strengths, strong local commitment and client credibility to jointly deliver on growth opportunities that accelerate our collective ambition to be the leading consultancy in the UK&I market.”
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange, AECOM had $16.1 billion of revenue during fiscal year 2024.
