AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced it has acquired Scotland-based Allen Gordon LLP, a leading provider of technical design and advisory services to the U.K. & Ireland (UK&I) water and energy sectors. The addition of the Allen Gordon team further enhances AECOM’s positioning ahead of substantial expected investment totaling more than £250 billion over the next decade in the water and energy markets across the region.

“We are delighted to have the Allen Gordon team join AECOM at a critical moment when spending is expected to accelerate across the water and energy markets,” said Richard Whitehead, chief executive of AECOM’s Europe & India region. “Allen Gordon has trusted relationships with key clients across the region and maintains substantial framework capacity from repeat clients that provides tremendous opportunities for growth.”
