Tim White co-founded Profica in 2005 and built the business’ presence across Sub-Saharan Africa. The completed acquisition expands Leeds-headquartered Turner & Townsend’s presence in Africa from 13 cities in 11 countries to 19 cities in 16 countries.
White said, “This partnership brings together two of Africa's largest project management companies and I'm excited to lead our combined team as we unlock greater opportunities for our clients.
“Our unique combination of scale, reach and capability, with unparalleled market knowledge across the continent, places us in a prime position to deliver solutions based on real experience, data and local insight, to help solve the industry's biggest challenges in Africa.”
Turner & Townsend has operated in Africa for over 40 years and has over 3,000 projects either completed or ongoing across the region.
The combined business is now the largest and most experienced built environment professional services company in Africa with established offices and teams based in all major regions, including English, French and Portuguese-speaking countries.
