Turner & Townsend awarded prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade 2025
Turner & Townsend has been honoured with the King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade for its impressive sales growth over the past three years. The Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business accolade in the UK.
Previously, Turner & Townsend received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2003, 2009, 2014, and 2020, and is one of only 197 organisations, nationally, to achieve the King’s Award for Enterprise this year.
Founded in 1946 in Darlington, County Durham, as a quantity surveying practice, the Leeds-based company is now a global and multi-disciplinary professional services firm, that employs more than 22,000 people in over 60 countries. This expansive footprint enables the business to support the ambitions of global clients across real estate, infrastructure, and energy and natural resources.
Since receiving the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2020, the company has increased its net revenue by 95 percent to reach £1.3 billion last year, with international trade accounting for over 60 percent.
The company is currently delivering over 15,000 impactful projects across the world, from vaccine manufacturing in Australia and Canada, eliminating power outages in South Africa to the iconic Battersea Power Station residential development in the UK.
Expansion and diversification of the business has been furthered through the company’s strategic partnership with CBRE Group Inc. At the start of 2025, CBRE’s project management business combined with Turner & Townsend to establish a programme, project and cost and commercial management offer that is unmatched anywhere in the world.
Turner & Townsend has also made a series of strategic acquisitions and partnerships over the past few years to support clients responding to a rapidly changing and complex world. These include alinea, specialists in real estate cost management in London; JUMBO Consulting Group, a global leader in procurement and contract management for offshore wind and JukesTodd, specialists in advisory and project management in Australia and New Zealand.
