Companies appointed to deliver £600m of transport projects
Faithful+Gould and Atkins have been appointed by a council to help deliver £600 million of capital transport projects.
The two firms, both members of the SNC-Lavalin group, have been appointed by Oxfordshire County Council as its capital transport delivery partner.
They will be tasked with helping to deliver projects over the next four years, including Oxfordshire’s Growth Deal and Housing Infrastructure Fund programmes.
Mike Batheram, local transport director at Atkins, said: “Through this appointment, our teams will support the delivery of over £600 million of investment, underpinning the sustainable growth of housing and employment in the county.
“The delivery partner role builds on the expert support and industry-leading advice that we and our partners have provided to Oxfordshire over the last few years.”
Adam Rome, regional director and local transport lead at Faithful+Gould, said: “Our aim is to create an integrated, client-focused partnership that introduces skills and expertise from across Atkins and Faithful+Gould directly into the client’s organisation to help them deliver a world-class, communities-centric transport system that accelerates Oxfordshire’s economic growth.”
