January 03 2025 - 4:49AM
Business Wire
CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) today announced that it has
completed its plan to combine its project management business with
Turner & Townsend, its majority-owned subsidiary, and that
Vincent Clancy, Board chair and chief executive officer of Turner
& Townsend, has joined CBRE’s Board of Directors.
Turner & Townsend provides program management, cost
consultancy and project management services globally, and has been
a majority-owned subsidiary of CBRE since 2021.
Clancy, a 35-year veteran of Turner & Townsend, has served
as its chief executive officer since 2008 and its Board chair since
2015. Under Clancy’s leadership, Turner & Townsend’s revenue
has increased from about $225 million in 2008 to more than $1.9
billion in 2023.
“Our unified project management business represents an offering
that is unmatched for its scale and breadth of capabilities. Under
Vincent’s exemplary leadership, it is poised to benefit from
powerful secular trends in areas like infrastructure, green energy
transition and employee experience,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE’s
chair and chief executive officer.
“Our Board will benefit greatly from the insights Vincent has
developed from running a highly successful global business and his
deep knowledge of key growth sectors for CBRE,” Sulentic added.
Clancy said: “The strong momentum we’ve built over the past
three years will continue to grow now that we’ve combined two great
businesses into one integrated, pure play project management
capability. Our combined depth of talent and resources, global
footprint, sector expertise and commitment to excellence is
unparalleled in program and project management. I’m also energized
to join CBRE’s Board and look forward to working with my fellow
Directors as we build a resilient, highly diversified business that
is second to none in our industry.”
Clancy joined Turner & Townsend in 1989, after earning a
degree in construction economics from South Bank University. He
assumed responsibility for Turner & Townsend’s United Kingdom
cost management business in 2000 and for its international business
in 2005, prior to his elevation to chief executive officer in
2008.
Clancy was named Building magazine’s CEO of the Year in both
2014 and 2017. He is a Chartered Member of the Royal Institute of
Surveyors and serves as an industry advisor to the Construction
Leadership Council.
CBRE now owns 70% of the combined Turner & Townsend/CBRE
Project Management business. Since becoming a majority-owned
subsidiary of CBRE in November 2021, Turner & Townsend’s
revenue has increased at a compound annual rate of more than
20%.
Beginning this year, CBRE will report Project Management results
in its own standalone business segment, providing increased
transparency for investors.
