Peter Oosterveer calls for clarity as strong UK growth helps firm boost global profit 24% in first half of the year

The global boss of Arcadis has called for the new prime minister to provide certainty over levelling up, saying the policy could allow the firm to play “a significant role” in investing in the north of England.

Peter Oosterveer, global chief executive of the consultancy giant, said: “I make an assumption that ‘levelling up’ means repurposing existing assets or repurposing neighbourhoods, to create more livable spaces and if that is indeed the case, then it could actually mean a tremendous opportunity for us. I think businesses would happily invest in something like this.”
