Consultant looks to grow Saudi Arabia and India divisions, whilst also increasing domestic market share

Consultant Rider Levett Bucknall UK is aiming to grow the share of its revenue from overseas markets from 10% to 25% within three years.

The quantity surveyor鈥檚 incoming chairman Ann Bentley told 好色先生TV that the company would look to achieve its aim by growing its Saudi Arabia and India divisions and by servicing more international clients from the UK.

Bentley added the firm was also aiming to 鈥渓everage鈥 opportunities from the other two international divisions of RLB that are based out of Australia and Hong Kong.

But she said the company鈥檚 management 鈥渄id not see鈥 the company鈥檚 UK operations shrinking and the firm would look to 鈥渃apture market share鈥 domestically. RLB is also aiming to increase its bottom line profit margin from 5% to 7.5% within three years through an efficiency drive.

Bentley also reaffirmed the company鈥檚 commitment to remaining independent and said the firm was not for sale. RLB is formed of three financially independent companies that merged in 2007. Formerly they were known as UK-based Bucknall Austin, Australia-based Rider Hunt and Hong Kong-based Levett and Bailey.

Bentley 鈥 currently operations director RLB UK鈥檚 鈥 will replace current chairman David Bucknall next month.
