Cushman & Wakefield has appointed former AECOM director Trevor Stone to lead its UK public sector project and development services.
Stone (pictured) spent more than 14 years at global infrastructure consulting firm AECOM, where he was a director and Scotland regional lead for its buildings and places team. Prior to that he spent 18 years at asset management and construction consultancy Currie & Brown, where he led the public private partnerships and banking advisory team.
At Cushman, Stone will be responsible for driving growth in public sector engagement within the PDS team, which provides services including building consultancy, building engineering, cost consultancy, project management and design and build to property owners, developers and occupiers. He will be based at the firm’s Scottish regional hub office in Edinburgh but have a nationwide remit.
Nic Wilkinson, head of project & development services UK at Cushman, said: “Trevor knows the public sector inside out and has more than 30 years of consultancy experience for our clients to draw on. As a firm, we have a long track record of partnering successfully with the public sector and this is increasing within our PDS business.
“We have identified more we can do, and Trevor will drive this activity and further develop our offer with his specialist expertise in key areas for public sector organisations such as aligning with the zero-carbon agenda and delivering our services through innovation.”
Stone said he was looking forward to bringing his “extensive experience and knowledge of the sector” to the business.
