Scottish QS and project manager was bought by Egis nearly two years ago

Consultant Thomas & Adamson has been rebranded Egis nearly two years after the French engineering giant bought it for an undisclosed sum.

The Scottish QS and project manager, which can trace its roots back to 1935, was snapped up in May 2024 after more than a year of talks.

T&A has three offices in the UK – Edinburgh, Glasgow and London – as well as two in the Middle East at Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Francois Basselot, managing director of Egis in the UK and Ireland, said: “For more than 90 years, Thomas & Adamson has built an outstanding reputation within the construction and property sector.

“Adopting the Egis name reflects the strategically important role this team plays within our global business and delivers benefits for both clients and colleagues.”

Former T&A managing partner Alastair Wallace remains a partner at the business but is no longer directly involved with T&A and has swapped that role for a global one as part of Egis’s advisory service.

Egis, which has 22,000 employees worldwide, bought transport architect Weston Williamson, which designed the Elizabeth line station at Paddington, four years ago and already owns another architect with Scottish roots, the Hong Kong-based 10 Design having bought that business nine years ago.
