Philippa Spence appointed as new UK Managing Director
Following 2-years as Ramboll’s Managing Principal for the UK Environment & Health practice, Philippa Spence has now been appointed as Managing Director for Ramboll’s 1,300-strong UK business.
Philippa is a recognised industry expert and senior leader with a background in delivering complex sustainability, environmental and social projects for clients across a multitude of sectors. Philippa was previously a senior partner at ERM and sits on the Advisory Board of the Environmental Industries Commission. She joined Ramboll in 2019 to grow the environment and health practice, drive greater multi-disciplinary delivery together with the engineering practices, and grow Ramboll’s sustainability consultancy offering.
Commenting on her appointment, Philippa said, “I am thrilled to take on the mantle of UK MD. The UK business is well positioned for the rebounding market in the UK. We are growing and continue to invest in innovation and deepening our portfolio of services to meet the sustainability challenges of the future. With the pace of change needed to secure the UK’s successful transition to a low-carbon economy, our role in developing holistic, integrated and future-forward solutions has never been more important”.
Philippa’s appointment comes hot on the heels of Mathew Riley’s recent ascension from UK MD to Ramboll’s Group Executive Board with responsibility for the UK, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway.
