Reviewed by Tom Sullivan

First reported on The Construction Index
30 Second Briefing
Turner & Townsend has reported 2025 global gross revenue of £5.76bn, a workforce of 22,000 and a real estate major-projects portfolio approaching £3tn in capital investment, including the UK New Hospital Programme and Barclays’ New York headquarters. Infrastructure growth is being driven by Heathrow Airport expansion, Anglian Water’s long‑term capital investment programme and the Clyde 2070 defence programme, plus new airport commissions in Vietnam, Bangalore and Perth. In energy and natural resources, the firm has been appointed a critical partner on Rolls‑Royce’s nuclear programme, extending its nuclear work across six continents.
Technical Brief
- Real estate growth is concentrated in urban development, sports/venues, industrial and life sciences asset classes.
- Global real estate work includes renewed multi‑asset portfolios for Google and Shell Real Estate.
- Infrastructure revenue is underpinned by long‑term public investment in economic and social assets, not one‑off schemes.
- Aviation, defence and water are named as the strongest infrastructure growth drivers in the current portfolio.
- Asia‑Pacific expansion is anchored by new airport programmes in Vietnam, Bangalore and Perth plus US aviation wins.
- Energy and natural resources work now spans the United States, Europe, Asia and the UK concurrently.
Our Take
Turner & Townsend’s revenue performance in 2025 sits alongside an active expansion drive, including the 2026 acquisition of Profica in Johannesburg, which signals a push to balance its UK and US work with a deeper Africa footprint in buildings and infrastructure.
Recent appointments tracked in our database – such as Emma Gilthorpe as chief transformation officer to embed AI and digital, and senior cost managers moving between Turner & Townsend, Colliers, and others – suggest intensifying competition for programme and cost management talent on large, complex projects like the New Hospital Programme and Heathrow-related work.
