GHD has appointed Rob Noden to lead its Environment business in EMEA as it seeks to grow its integrated services offering to clients and respond to changing market challenges, both in the UK and more widely across EMEA. Rob will lead GHD’s Environment business into new markets across the region, assisting clients with their green investment decisions and ESG and decarbonisation ambitions, as well as supporting them throughout the full lifecycle of their assets. He will report to Simon Light, GHD’s Executive Managing Director - EMEA.
Rob was previously the UK Environment Client Pillar Lead and Global Client Taskforce Leader for Environment at WSP, and prior to this he was at Golder Associates for several years, latterly as a Business Unit Leader. He has also held roles at Jacobs and URS Corporation (now part of Aecom).
GHD offers a broad range of environmental services globally to help clients develop projects, enhance performance, and close and remediate operations, while managing risks and impacts. The company is committed to developing cutting-edge solutions that address the growing demands for water, energy and urbanisation while meeting regulatory, community and environment requirements.
Commenting on the appointment, Simon Light, Executive Managing Director - EMEA at GHD, said: “We are delighted to welcome Rob to the GHD team as we look to expand into new markets, with a particular focus on the industrial sector. His experience and expertise will be invaluable to us as we help organisations, including transport clients and conglomerates, with their complex environmental challenges. Sustainability is now a top priority for governments, corporates and society globally, and we are committed to providing clients with first-class environmental services that will help them to make a positive impact on the world around us.”
Rob Noden, GHD’s newly appointed Sector Leader, Environment - EMEA, added: "It is a pivotal time for many businesses as scrutiny around the environmental impact of their operations continues to grow, and GHD is playing a critical role advising clients on how they can develop long-term sustainable value for all stakeholders. I really admire GHD’s client-centric approach to doing business and am looking forward to working with the team to deliver innovative solutions for the benefit of generations to come."
GHD is ranked number 26 in Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) Top 150 Global Design Firms 2020, and has also won a number of awards globally for its Environment work.
