Turner & Townsend has made 12 senior appointments across its infrastructure and property sectors.

The hires add further expertise to T&T’s programme, project and cost management and delivery operations in the firm’s London, Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin and Leeds offices. In the last 12 months the consultant’s UK team has expanded by 14%.

Gildas Andre, Robert Holmans, Donald Homer, Philip Matthews, Miles Pedder and Mark Stapleton have become directors in T&T’s property business, while Peter Depledge, David Hodkinson and Philip Patterson become directors in the infrastructure division.

Meanwhile, Amarjit Bura, Michael Grayson and Marcus Miles-Thomas have been appointed project directors in the infrastructure business.

Jon White, UK managing director for Turner & Townsend, said: â€œWith property and infrastructure sectors gaining momentum in the UK, it’s important we build strong and highly capable teams to meet the needs of both our local and national clients.â€

The appointments come after Ðǿմ«Ã½ revealed last month Turner & Townsend has expanded the number of director owners at the firm to 78 since converting to a partnership last October.

Turner & Townsend (T&T) has shared equity between the partners since its conversion from a PLC to a limited liability partnership.

Ðǿմ«Ã½ revealed last July T&T had dropped long-held plans to float on the London Stock Exchange in favour of a surprise return to becoming a partnership.

In February T&T received a further boost after securing an £80m finance package from three banks to fuel further expansion.

The five-year revolving credit facility was agreed with Lloyds, HSBC and RBS.
