Europe
Building our future together
Dear colleagues,
Welcome to our new Europe-wide page on The Loop. This is where we’ll be sharing updates, videos and other materials relating to our combination in Europe. Please do visit it so that you can keep up to date with what’s going on in our region.
We started our journey to create One Business by bringing Turner & Townsend and CBRE Project Management (PJM) together in June 2024. Since then, we’ve seen huge progress across all teams. I believe combining our businesses offers us all a unique opportunity for growth, more diversification, and a great platform to attract top talent to work on our iconic projects.
Both teams have been working hard to ensure a smooth and efficient transition, while recognising that timelines and experiences may vary across different parts of Europe. I understand that ambiguity is challenging to deal with, but we are making good progress.
I hope you’ll find this new regional view of The Loop useful and that you’ll visit the page regularly for the latest Europe updates such as the Country pages - The Loop, Downloads - The Loop, Corporate governance. Please continue to send your questions and feedback by using Just ask - The Loop.
Thank you all for all your hard work so far. We’ve made a really good start, and I know that, working together, we’re creating an industry-defining organisation for Europe.
Thank you
Paul Grace
Regional Managing Director, Europe

Enterprise Project Management
Penny Mocini explained how EPM stands out by being closely tied to CBRE’s day-to-day building management, which helps deliver smooth and reliable service across different locations. She described four flexible ways in which the EPM team support clients: dedicated teams, agency help, small changes (MAC), and full project delivery, each tailored to what the client needs. The main goal? Win the client, keep them happy, and keep adding value. She also highlighted how teamwork, strong leadership, and being present in client buildings help uncover new chances to support and grow with them.
