Tim White named regional MD after the acquisition of his Johannesburg-based firm completed
Turner & Townsend has made the founder of the South African firm it bought late last year its new African managing director.
Tim White co-founded property project management and construction solutions company Profica in 2006. The firm has a presence across Sub-Saharan Africa with experience in delivering large, high-profile and complex projects in the property, construction and civil engineering sectors.
T&T said the combination it and Profica’s operations would make the firm “Africa’s leading real estate project management consultancy” with nearly 400 staff. The acquisition expands T&T’s presence in the continent from 13 cities in 11 countries to 19 cities in 16 countries.
White said the newly expanded operation would put the firm “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”.
T&T is looking to grow into new sectors such as data centres and hotels, as well as offer services such as principal contracting delivery and development consulting.
Profica’s recent projects include Stanbic IBTC head office in Nigeria, Netcare Alberton Regional Trauma Hospital in South Africa, the Mövenpick Hotel Kigali in Rwanda and Maersk’s three new flagship warehouses in Senegal and South Africa.
Last month T&T made changes to its UK leadership team with Patricia Moore being appointed as managing director of EMEA.
