Our vision is to be the leading capital programmes professional service provider operating across property, infrastructure and natural resources.

In 2010 Turner & Townsend began a journey to grow the company on a global scale across our three core sectors. Our vision to excel has seen us climb from 2,500 staff in 63 offices across 28 countries, in 2010, to 6,600 in 110 offices across 45 countries in 2020. This didn’t happen because we have a great business strategy. It happened because we have a clear vision of what we want to achieve.
