The boss of AYH’s M&E QSing business is to rejoin his brother’s firm, Davis Langdon arm Mott Green Wall

Andy Denman is to return to his former stamping ground as a partner in the New Year. His brother Jon is managing partner at the firm, which joined the Davis Langdon fold in 1999.

Denman, who left Mott Green Wall nearly two years ago to take over AYH’s M&E business, said he was delighted at the move. “There is an exciting opportunity there for me to do some good stuff in the London office,” he said. “I’m definitely looking forward to working with my brother and the team, a lot of whom I know already.”

Denman denied that the move followed AYH’s acquisition for £21m in the summer by Dutch consultancy group Arcadis.

Mott Green Wall has a 30-year track record in M&E advice and is currently carrying out work generating £9m of fee income.

Postscript

AYH parent Arcadis last week posted profits of £4.2m on turnover of £156m, up 36% and 7% respectively, for the third quarter of 2005. The firm said the sale of less profitable businesses and acquisitions of firms with better margins contributed to the increase in profits. Chief executive Harrie Noy said: “Our strategy aimed at margin improvement is clearly yielding results.”
