Global professional services consultancy WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff will be changing its name to WSP in May 2017.
The change of name reflects the consultancy’s recent growth to around 36,700 people globally with 7,100 based in the UK. The new name will cover more than 85 small and mid-sized to large companies that have previously come together.
This includes Mouchel Consulting, which was acquired in October 2016, and will become WSP in July when it is fully integrated with the wider business.
The name currently used on the Toronto Stock Exchange will remain unchanged (WSP Global Inc.)
WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff and Mouchel Consulting currently provide technical expertise in the built and natural environment across the public and private sectors
Mark Naysmith, UK CEO, said:
“WSP is a successful story of global growth. We have decided to change our name after speaking to our people and our clients extensively. Our conversations with clients showed they have a genuine curiosity about us and the services we provide. For our 7,100 people in the UK, being WSP will allow us to focus on our shared future, combined talent and common vision as one of the country’s fastest growing engineering professional services consultancies.”
