What critics are saying

  • Heathrow’s £33 billion expansion ties growth to one politically exposed mega-project timeline.
  • Saudi Vision 2030 hiring deepens Middle East dependence; any budget reset hits revenue.
  • CBRE ownership leaves Turner & Townsend vulnerable to integration friction and margin pressure.
