Firm has handed out close to £365m to shareholders in past three sets of accounts

Turner & Townsend paid out close to £174m in dividends last year as the firm continued to see turnover and profit head upwards.

The firm, which has been majority owned by US real estate giant CBRE for the past five years, said revenue hit £5.8bn last year, up from £1.1bn for the eight months to December 2024.

The revenue increase came after CBRE merged its project management business into T&T at the start of last year.
