Egis adds infrastructure specialist to architecture portfolio

Weston Williamson & Partners has been bought by multidisciplinary engineering giant Egis for an undisclosed sum.

The infrastructure specialist, whose projects include two Crossrail stations, is the second architect to be snapped up by the French-headquartered multinational in the last five years. It bought Hong Kong-based 10 Design in 2017.

Egis, which has a presence in 120 countries, said it had approached WWP and after identifying common ground had gone on to buy a majority stake in Weston Williamson. Both parties refused to say how much money had changed hands.
