Growth at EC Harris hits 7% one year on from Arcadis deal

摘要

EC Harris is on target to hit 6-7% growth this financial year and is aiming for 12% growth next year, the firm's chief executive Philip Youell has disclosed. In an interview with Building, Youell (pictured) said the firm's expansion is being driven by the consultant's takeover by Dutch giant Arcadis a year ago this month. Arcadis is one of the world's fastest growing construction firms and is set to grow by a third to about ￡2.5bn turnover in the current financial year, partly fuelled by its acquisition of EC Harris and its April takeover of ￡79m-turnover Asia-based consultant Davis Langdon & Seah.
