2024

Welcome

During my tenure as Chair of Rider Levett Bucknall’s Global Board over the last two years, nothing has given me greater pride and pleasure than to see how our people come together with industry partners to deliver some truly amazing projects in the built environment right across the world.

This spirit of teamwork and collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do. We are a truly global business, with 4,500 colleagues working in 130 locations across 34 countries, but our culture bridges the divide of geography to create a truly united team that works to a common vision – to support our industry in Creating A Better Tomorrow.

 

Our industry is evolving rapidly to meet the modern needs of the built environment: to be digitally enabled, sustainable, ethical, productive, and forever valuable. At Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) we are proud to be an integral part of this evolution, supporting our industry to answer the questions both current and future, that is essential for our clients and business to deliver sustainable outcomes to the benefit of stakeholders.

In this report, you will learn more about our company’s culture and ethos and how we are:

  • Leveraging new technologies and artificial intelligence to unlock greater benefits for our clients through digitalisation of our industry.
  • Innovating in the design and management of construction and property projects to bring time and cost savings and added value.
  • Helping our clients to achieve their sustainability and decarbonisation targets while making progress on our own journey to be net zero globally by 2030.
  • Investing in the future of our people through lifetime professional development and championing equality and wellbeing in the workplace.
  • Giving back to the communities in which we live and work to ensure that we bring valuable, positive impact wherever we are located.

As my chairmanship draws to an end, it is with pride that I see all that our business is achieving and the opportunity that our industry brings. I am pleased to report that RLB is performing well as a global business, with revenues forecast to be in the region of US$435m by the end of 2024.

At a time of much market disruption and volatility, we remain a sustainable and resilient business, focused on delivering value for our clients through the skills and passion of our people.

It is our people that makes RLB the thriving and unique business that it is and I give my heartfelt thanks to all our colleagues around the world who have contributed to our success. I look forward to supporting the ongoing work of the Global Board under the direction of our incoming Global Board Chair, Peter Tulla.
