UK-based Turner & Townsend, a global consultancy business serving clients in the real estate, infrastructure and natural resources sectors, has appointed Mark Dyson as the new head of infrastructure for Saudi Arabia.

 

An industry veteran, he has over 15 years of experience delivering large infrastructure projects in the Middle East and the United Kingdom. 

 

In his new role, Dyson will be responsible for delivering existing KSA major infrastructure projects and driving infrastructure portfolio growth in the kingdom by ensuring that clients receive the best of the firm’s technical expertise and innovation.

 

He has been with the business for the past nine years and has been fundamental in Turner & Townsend’s successful pursuit and delivery of several major public sector infrastructure programmes in the region. 

Dyson has also actively been involved in the firm’s strategic positioning and key client development within Saudi and Qatar markets.

 

Regional Infrastructure and Programme Advisory Lead Gary Haldane said: "Mark’s appointment reflects our dedication to strengthening our infrastructure capability in KSA. He has been instrumental in successfully delivering large-scale infrastructure programmes in the region."

 

"The growth of our regional infrastructure presence is a testament to our approach in helping the Kingdom with economic diversification. As a business, we are fully committed to supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. A key focus for us will be to deliver better outcomes on Kingdom infrastructure programmes by transforming performance, incorporating more sustainability principles, and driving inclusivity in the industry," he added.

 

On his new role, Dyson said the KSA market will see an influx of major infrastructure projects requirements over the next few years as the construction sector powers forward with the delivery of Vision 2030 Giga Schemes and the establishment of the ‘National Infrastructure Fund.’

 

"The demand for infrastructure to support KSA’s 2030 vision will be huge over the next 10 years. As a business, we are very excited about the opportunity this demand presents us with, to support our existing and future clients on the challenges they will face in delivering, what will no doubt be, complex major infrastructure programmes," he noted. 

 

"Our global and local experience in delivering these programmes provides us with a perfect platform to do deliver service excellence to our clients in this space," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
