G&T rejigs management as top man departs after 40 years

摘要

Gardiner & Theobald's managing partner is stepping down next month ending more than four decades at the business. Simon Jones joined in 1977 and became a partner 12 years later before taking over from Peter Sanders as managing partner in 2006. He is being replaced by Adam Glover, who joined the business back in 1989, and who currently heads the firm's project management arm. Glover became a partner in 1997 and took up the project management leadership role in 2005. And the firm's managing director of its US business, Andrew Mann, is also going after 40 years at G&T. Mann set up its US business in 1992 initially in Atlanta before relocating it to New York. Mann is being replaced by Jonathan Andrew who works out of the New York office. The rejig comes as the firm reported that turnover had reached the £180m mark in the year to April 2018, up from £172m the previous year. Distributed profit also grew, almost hitting £S0m - up from £47m the previous year.
