Running from 2026 to 2030, the appointment continues Turner & Townsend’s 15‑year partnership with the Environment Agency on the largest flood defence programme in English history. The programme plays a vital role in protecting communities, supporting economic growth by increasing investment confidence in areas most at risk of flooding and delivering better outcomes for nature.

The appointment will support the Environment Agency to achieve its 2030 vision, helping to maximise value for money from existing assets, enable the development of new schemes, unlock productivity through digital adoption and enhance sustainable outcomes across operations and delivery. 

“We’re proud to continue our long‑standing partnership with the Environment Agency on this nationally significant programme.”

“This appointment reflects the strength of our relationship and our shared focus on delivering value, resilience and positive outcomes for communities most at risk from flooding.”

“By bringing together our programme, commercial and digital capabilities, we look forward to supporting the Environment Agency through the next phase of delivery and transformation.”
