New recruits at Aecom

The project consultant has announced three new appointments within its North West development team to strengthen transport planning and engineering services.

Formerly with WYG, Michael Anthony joined as a principal consultant based in Manchester. Adam Leary arrived from SDG as a principal consultant based in Aecom's Liverpool office. Phil Gibbon will also be based in Liverpool and joins as a consultant engineer having previously worked for the Traffic, Transport & Highway Consultancy.

Mark Edwards, regional director of Aecom's North West development team, said: "These three appointments are key to the expansion of Aecom's established North West development team as we continue to deliver projects for both our longstanding and new clients. We have seen a real uplift in projects in the region from both the private and public sectors, along with a renewed appetite to get schemes moving and delivered. There are exciting times ahead in the North West as confidence returns to the property and development market, and we are ensuring we are in the best shape to support the industry going forward."
