Arup announced that Gregory Hodkinson will take over the role of Chairman. Hodkinson is joined by Deputy Chairmen Tristram Carfrae and David Whittleton. Together they will lead a global group of more than 11,500 staff members with turnover in excess of $1.7 billion.

"Arup's strategy is quite simply to deliver the best quality work for our clients across all sectors," Hodkinson explains. "I believe that we have the right people with the right skills to add even more value in vitally important areas such as resilient city development, transport, water and low-carbon energy, so that's where we aim to refine our focus."

Hodkinson has spent his professional career at Arup and is a passionate believer in Arup's mission to 'shape a better world'. He brings more than 40 years' experience in large-scale projects to the new role, including several in the US and Canada: JetBlue, British Airways and Delta Airlines terminals at JFK International in New York; New Terminal Development for Toronto's Pearson International Airport; Fulton Street Transit Center, and Second Avenue Subway in New York.

He worked on major urban development and transport projects in Australia and the UK, before leading the firm's expansion in the US in 1988 as a Founding Principal of the New York office. Hodkinson became Chairman of the Americas Region in 2004, a role now held by Mahadev Raman. In 2011, Hodkinson moved to Milan to lead the firm's European business and was subsequently appointed Chairman of the global Group by the Arup Trustees as of April 1, 2014.
