Alastair Kenyon joins smaller rival after nearly six years at US giant
Alinea has pulled off a major coup after luring Aecom big hitter Alastair Kenyon to the 拢13m turnover business.
Kenyon spent nearly six years at Aecom and was the US giant鈥檚 head of offices in London where he was in charge of a team of 60.
But the 44-year-old has made the switch to the 100-strong, five-year-old cost consultant which was set up in May 2013 by six former Davis Langdon 鈥� snapped up by Aecom in 2010 鈥� and EC Harris partners.
Kenyon (pictured) becomes Alinea鈥檚 seventh equity partner and will be working alongside the firm鈥檚 private sector clients on commercial, mixed-use and residential schemes.
Alinea, which is due to publish its annual results later this month, is working on a string of jobs in the City including the 22 Bishopsgate tower being built by Multiplex, Mitsubishi Estates鈥� 6-8 Bishopsgate, a 50-storey tower designed by Wilkinson Eyre, and Bishopsgate Plaza, a hotel and residential scheme being built by Lendlease.
Richard Taylor, Alinea co-founder, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to welcome Alastair into our business as we plan for the future in building a successful and sustainable business. We are hugely excited at the proposition of taking the business to the next level of our development.鈥�
Kenyon鈥檚 projects at Aecom included the Foster + Partners-designed Bloomberg building 鈥� a stone鈥檚 throw from Alinea鈥檚 office on Cannon Street 鈥� as well as British Land鈥檚 Triton Square development near Euston and Brookfield鈥檚 100 Bishopsgate scheme, a 37-storey tower designed by Allies & Morrison being built by Multiplex in the City.
He also worked alongside former Argent boss Roger Madelin who is heading up British Land鈥檚 redevelopment of a former newspaper printworks at Canada Water in east London.
Before joining Aecom, Kenyon spent nearly seven years at Faithful + Gould and five years at Currie & Brown.
