“With such a strong strategic and cultural fit between our two companies, we are primed to establish a new disruptive force in cost management. As Turner & Townsend alinea we will be working with our clients in the capital, from the earliest possible stage in the project lifecycle, to deliver even greater social, environmental, and economic impact.”

Iain Parker, Turner & Townsend alinea Lead, said: “When we founded alinea 10 years ago we said that we wanted to raise the standard of cost consultancy and disrupt the market through a strong focus and personal service.
