Clients unnerved by Davis Langdon chiefs shock exit

摘要

Clients of consultant Davis Langdon have expressed concern about the circumstances surrounding the sudden and unexplained resignation of its global chief executive this week. Jeremy Horner, appointed global chief executive of Davis Langdon on its merger with Aecom in October 2010, resigned this week, just months after completing a senior level restructure. Aecom announced that it has appointed Bob Pell as global chief executive of its programme, cost and consultancy practice, which includes Davis Langdon, and confirmed Homer's departure, revealed by building.co.uk this week.Aecom declined, despite numerous requests, to offer any explanation for the resignation, which comes after the departure of 33 partners during a restructure in October, and a number of senior Davis Langdon staff in advance of the merger.
