Mott MacDonald's Group chairman, Keith Howells, in India for key business meetings

Keith Howells, chairman of Mott MacDonald Group, a leading management, engineering and development consultancy, will arrive in India this week for a planned three day visit demonstrating the importance of the region to the consultancy’s INR83.9 billion global business.

As part of the three day trip Keith will visit some of the company’s clients and offices in both Mumbai and Banglaore. He will also attend a special event to mark the retirement of Satyavrat Srivastava as managing director of Mott MacDonald’s India business. Satyavrat has been with the consultancy for 35 years and during this time has seen the business transform from a small Indian presence resourcing projects largely from the UK, to an Indian business with over 1700 staff in offices in key locations including Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata and Mumbai.

Commenting on the visit Mike Barker, who has taken over from Satyavrat as managing director comments: “India is a hugely important market for Mott MacDonald and these meetings reinforce our commitment to our clients and partners in the region. India has one of the fastest growing economies in the world with a young, rapidly expanding population. As a major player in all areas of infrastructure development, Mott MacDonald is enjoying significant demand for our expertise and we see great potential to expand.”

The company is helping to meet the need for faster, more efficient urban transport, and is involved on metro projects in Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Jaipur and Mumbai.
