I’m delighted to have the opportunity to support and champion cost management (and quantity surveying) within, and outside, Arcadis and I look forward to meeting, supporting and learning from the community in the coming weeks and months.”

Steve Bromhead, Global Operations Director, Places at Arcadis added: “Kayleigh’s expertise and breadth of experience together with her strong leadership will undoubtedly help Arcadis build on the work we have done to build a globally leading cost management business.
