Exclusive: Departures mean half of Davis Langdon鈥檚 former equity partners have gone since Aecom takeover
Aecom has lost a further two high profile directors from its London office, 黑洞社区 can reveal.
Alex Davey, head of real estate in Europe, and Paul Zuccherelli, head of retail at the firm鈥檚 UK-based subsidiary Davis Langdon, have both tendered their resignations, Aecom confirmed.
Their departures mean half of Davis Langdon鈥檚 former equity partners in Europe and the Middle East - 37 out of 74, according to 黑洞社区鈥檚 analysis - have now left the firm since it voted through its takeover by Aecom in 2010.
The firm鈥檚 London-based commercial team has been hit particularly hard by departures. Davey鈥檚 departure follows news a fortnight ago that Davis Langdon鈥檚 head of tall buildings, Steve Watts, and head of offices, Iain Parker, have also resigned.
Davey, Watts and Parker had been running the London-based commercial team for four months, after former head of commercial Paul Allen resigned in November. Davey has worked on a number of major projects in the UK 鈥� including Argent鈥檚 拢2bn, 67-acre mixed-use King鈥檚 Cross Central scheme (pictured) 鈥� and emerging markets including Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Aecom confirmed that Peter Flint, Aecom鈥檚 buildings and places lead in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and a former Davis Langdon partner, has taken on the role of leading the London-based commercial division, to be supported by director Nick Clare.
Aecom also disclosed it has reshuffled its senior team to boost its commercial division. 黑洞社区 engineering chief executive David Glover will take on the additional role of heading up offices; director Nick Clare will head up retail; and director Andrew Jones will head up cities. David Thornley, head of corporate solutions, and Ben de Waal, head of residential, have both been given extended roles.
Flint said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 always sad when you lose good people. But we鈥檝e got a lot of strength in depth and we鈥檙e managing the transition with clients.鈥�
