Cundall names new managing partner

Cundall has appointed company veteran Kevin Hayes as its new managing partner.

Hayes, who has been with the business for nearly 30 years, takes up the role next week on 1 July. His stint will run for four years and he succeeds Carole O’Neil.

Hayes has been in charge of Cundall’s London office for the past decade and will now be in charge of 1,300 people across the globe.

The firm, which is celebrating 50 years of being in business this year, opened five new offices during O’Neil’s tenure including Saudi Arabia, Germany and India.

Hayes said: “Over the next four years, I will be building on the existing strategy with a particular focus on our markets, our clients, and our technical excellence. I will ensure that we continue to advance our thinking and extend our global footprint, both in terms of client and locations, but also provide amazing opportunities for our employees.”
