↑ 0%Design team picked for new Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre. | News Team - Thursday, September 24, 2026 | Hounslow Council has appointed AECOM, working with FaulknerBrowns Architects, to take forward plans for a new Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre. The team will now develop the design and carry out the technical and planning work needed for the proposed redevelopment of the site. The appointment marks an important step in plans to replace the existing centre, which has served the local community since 1987. Emerging proposals for the new centre include modern swimming pools with moveable floors, interactive water-play facilities, a larger gym, sports hall, fitness studios, improved changing facilities and new family and community spaces. The new centre will be developed with residents, schools and community groups. A second round of engagement is planned for October and November, giving local people the opportunity to respond to the emerging proposals and help shape aspects of the design and user experience. This builds on engagement in 2024-25, when more than 900 people shared their views on what they would like to see from a new leisure centre. Swimming, accessible fitness facilities and family-friendly spaces were consistently highlighted as priorities, and that feedback is now helping to shape the developing proposals. As part of the wider redevelopment, the proposals also include new homes and improved public realm. The residential element will contribute towards the cost of delivering the new leisure centre and reduce the amount the council would otherwise need to borrow. In the meantime, Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre remains open as normal, with no closure date yet set. Councillor Tom Bruce, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development at Hounslow Council, said: "Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre has served the community for nearly 40 years - I have visited frequently, both as a child and more recently with my own family. But the building is ageing and no longer fit for purpose. We now have an opportunity to create a modern leisure centre that meets the growing requirements of the area. "Local people have already told us what matters most to them in a new centre, and have given us plenty to consider. As we move into the next stage, we'll continue working with everyone to make sure we get this right. Brentford is already a fantastic place, and it's vital that the investments we're making deliver real benefits for local people." Councillor Salmon Shaheen, Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and Public Realm, added: "Good local leisure facilities make a real difference to people's health and wellbeing, whether that's learning to swim, keeping fit or being active with family and friends. "We want the new Brentford Fountain to be a place everyone can use and enjoy. Residents have told us what matters to them and, as the plans develop, we'll keep listening to make sure those priorities are reflected in the new centre."

AECOM shares have fallen 30% over the past six months, underperforming the S&P 500's 16% gain and its industry peers. The infrastructure consulting firm faces significant near-term challenges, including a $337 million charge in its Construction Management business due to subcontractor productivity issues and project delays. Operating cash flow dropped to $169.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 from $625.5 million the previous year. The company now expects full-year free cash flow of approximately $300 million, with pressures continuing through the first half of fiscal 2027. Despite these headwinds, AECOM's backlog reached a record $27.8 billion, up 13%, supported by strong demand across transportation, water, energy and data centres. However, fiscal 2026 earnings estimates have declined to $4.48 per share, representing a 14.8% year-over-year decrease, before an expected 33.7% rebound in fiscal 2027.
US infrastructure company AECOM promotes internally for CLO role. AECOM's GC for corporate Manav Kumar will replace David Gan as chief legal officer in October 22 September 2026 Manav Kumar Infrastructure business AECOM has promoted Manav Kumar to chief legal officer, succeeding David Gan who is retiring next year. Kumar was previously general counsel for corporate and global head of public affairs, a role he has held since 2024. As CLO, Kumar will lead the company's legal and public affairs function globally.

Advertisement Kumar joined AECOM just under a decade ago as chief of staff in the office of the CEO, before becoming deputy GC in 2020. Prior to his arrival, Kumar spent four years as deputy counsel to then Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and chief Olympics officer for the city's successful bid to host the 2028 Olympic Games. Prior to that, he worked in private practice at legacy firm Caldwell Leslie & Proctor (now part of King & Spalding) and Arnold & Porter, having also clerked in the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Gan, meanwhile, is retiring after two decades with the company, having been CLO since 2019. He originally joined as deputy GC in 2006 from Mayer Brown, where he was a corporate and securities attorney. He started his career in private practice at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Rudd added: "Throughout his more than 20 years at AECOM, David has made important contributions to our company, helping strengthen our legal, governance and compliance capabilities while supporting many of our most significant business initiatives."

Before joining Arcadis last year, she was GC at Dutch manufacturing company Kendrion, following a near 30-year career at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Also in July, UK homebuilder and infrastructure business Balfour Beatty said it had lined up Ed Egerton as chief legal and commercial officer from global engineering, design and project management business AtkinsRéalis.

AECOM has secured Ireland's largest railway contract as part of a joint venture with Jacobs to deliver MetroLink, the country's first fully segregated metro system. The project will connect North County Dublin, Dublin Airport, and the city centre through 16 new stations. The win comes despite AECOM reporting a $337 million charge that eliminated its third-quarter profit. The charge stems from a 2019 Construction Management project facing cost overruns due to lower subcontractor productivity. The project won't reach substantial completion until the second quarter of fiscal 2027. AECOM's total backlog reached a record $27.8 billion in the third quarter, up 13% year-over-year. International revenue rose 6%, with adjusted operating margin expanding 240 basis points to 14.3%. The company is pursuing claims to recover costs from the troubled project, though management acknowledges full resolution will take years.
