The New AECOM Boss is the Former CEO of Depart

AECOM appear to have appointed Colin Wood as the chief executive of their company. This follows the sudden leave of David Barwell, who was the previous SEO. There has not been a reason given yet for the company as to why they made the change, as David Barwell posted a notice of termination today. This was done through the Companies House this morning. The replacement for Quarterman hasn't been announced however.

Of course, Wood joined the agency in 2017 as the managing director of the UK business. He worked for two years as part of the firm's civil infrastructure and he worked across the Middle East, Europe and more. He also worked in Africa and India too. Before he joined Aecom, the RAF officer was the head of the Ministry of Defence's own infrastructure. Barwell happened to work at the company for 20 years and anyone who works as a recruitment agency employee or even those who are looking for jobs right now will understand how changing jobs can be turbulent, even for the most experienced of professionals.

AECOM have been approached for comment and they have actually given a statement on the departure. They have stated that Barwell is going to be transitioning from the company sometime between now and the end of the year. The change comes ahead of the third-quarter 2020 results and it's safe to say that many are hoping that the chance is going to be for the better. Who knows what is going to happen in the future, but right now, it looks like more needs to be done in order to make sure that everyone in the company continues to do their best to ensure success. This change could signify a new change in the company's direction.
