We're proud to announce we have been ranked #26 in the Top 150 Global Design Firms 2020 survey.
This highly regarded listing produced by the Engineering News-Record ranks design companies based on their annual revenue globally.
The feature also discusses the impact of Covid-19 on the global design industry and how leading companies have been able to demonstrate resilience in uncertain conditions.
“Our business continues to perform well across all the regions where we operate – North America, Australia, Asia Pacific and Europe and Middle East – because our people have adapted to changing market needs and the need to change how we work,” says CEO Ashley Wright.
“Prior to the pandemic we were already operating remotely bringing together the best global thinking for our clients. Therefore our response to the pandemic has been an acceleration of that transformation. We have learned that we can continue to support our clients and communicate effectively without seeing them face-to-face, and our people are continuing to connect, engage with each other, win work and deliver projects.”
“This crisis is a catalyst for clients who are reimagining their operations, whether it’s adapting interiors for physical distancing measures, effectively managing shutdowns and resuming operations, or developing more resilient supply chains. We have also enhanced our wellbeing program for our employees, who have been persevering brilliantly through these stressful times.
We have used a wide range of capabilities to help communities through COVID-19 such as designing an emergency hospital for Qatar in just two weeks, and the company is also delivering a number of projects to help clients get employees back to their jobs safely.
In the Top 225 International Design Firms ranking, GHD has moved to #20 (up from #21 in 2019). Based on revenue outside each company’s ‘home country’ (i.e. Australia for GHD), this ranking shows that we are growing successfully in North America, Europe and Middle East and Asia Pacific, building a truly diversified global business.
