Ramboll has appointed Neil Sansbury (pictured) as acting managing director for UK & Ireland as Philippa Spence steps into a global leadership role in Ramboll’s 3000-strong global E&H Division after three years in her current role.
Sansbury joined the company in 2016 and played a crucial role in navigating it through the challenges relating to Brexit, Covid and more recently inflation, while helping to double revenue and deliver sustainable growth.
He will bring his considerable experience and in-depth knowledge of Ramboll’s business in the UK & Ireland to the role, the outfit said.
As head of the E&H Division, Spence will oversee Ramboll’s largest and most profitable market, which holds a top-10 leading position globally among environmental consultancies.
She takes on the global role having led the company’s E&H Division in the UK from 2019-2021.
Spence also chairs the Environment Industries Commission (EIC).
Sansbury said: “I am looking forward to leading the UK and Ireland business.
“It is an exciting time for our industry with early promising signals from the new government on a variety of matters.
“Bringing stability and confidence to the market with the green energy transition, establishing Great British Energy and the National Wealth Fund, planning reforms.
“These initiatives and other clear policy signals are essential for the UK’s growth and decarbonisation ambitions.
“Our significant investments into sustainability means we are well placed to support clients in the green transition, I have no doubt that the next five years will be transformational for our industry.”
