Explaining the merger, Chairman Mark Whitby and Chief Executive Mike Crane said: "The merger is a result of Whitbybird and Ramboll's shared ambition to deliver an outstanding service to our clients across the whole spectrum of engineering. Both businesses are committed to a creative working culture and the need to share knowledge as engineers to meet the global challenges facing society."
Flemming Pederson, CEO of the Ramboll Group, said: "To Ramboll, expansion into the UK market is a natural development according to our company's strategy for growth. The Whitbybird service portfolio and company culture are very compatible to Ramboll and we are particularly attracted to the innovative professionalism that characterises Whitbybird. Whitbybird will further strengthen Ramboll's abilities, particularly in high rise and fire engineering."
Ramboll is 93% owned by the Ramboll Foundation and 7% by the staff. Examples of the company's work include the Copenhagen Opera House and the Great Belt Bridge, which, at 1600m, is the world's second longest freespan suspension bridge. Ramboll is a leader in the design and engineering of the world's offshore wind energy projects.
Current projects by Whitbybird include the Okhta Centre Tower for Gazprom in St Petersburg, The Ferrari Experience in Abu Dhabi and the new stadium for Liverpool Football Club at Anfield.
The new business in the UK will trade under the name Ramboll Whitbybird.
