AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the global infrastructure leader, today announced the acquisition of Allen Gordon LLP, a Scotland-based technical design and advisory firm with decades of experience serving the UK & Ireland (UK&I) water and energy sectors.

The strategic acquisition bolsters AECOM’s position as infrastructure investment across the region is expected to exceed £250 billion in the next decade, particularly in the water and energy sectors.

“The Allen Gordon team brings a proven track record, strong client relationships, and trusted expertise that align perfectly with AECOM’s growth strategy,” said Richard Whitehead, CEO of AECOM’s Europe & India region.

“Joining the world’s number one-ranked water design firm creates powerful synergies and expands our ability to deliver critical infrastructure for the UK&I market,” said Stephen Munro, Partner at Allen Gordon.

The acquisition comes at a time of robust demand for technical solutions in the water and clean energy transition, supporting AECOM’s mission to deliver innovative and resilient infrastructure worldwide.
