Senior leadership appointment signals focus on complex projects and sustainability in London and surrounding counties.
Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) has appointed Matt Buntine as head of project and programme management for London and Europe, bringing extensive experience in managing complex construction and development projects across multiple sectors. His background includes leadership roles in consulting, sustainability, and corporate strategy, with a particular focus on projects in London and key Home Counties such as Surrey and Hertfordshire.
Buntine’s expertise spans alternative energy, heritage conservation, commercial development, and transport infrastructure, making him well-equipped to oversee projects with diverse requirements, including those involving historic buildings and major public clients like Transport for London and the Houses of Parliament. His previous stewardship of sustainability initiatives, such as the Mission Zero strategy, reflects an increasing emphasis on environmentally responsible construction practices in the capital and its surrounding regions.
From a construction management perspective, this appointment underscores the growing importance of integrated project leadership that can navigate the complexities of urban development, heritage preservation, and sustainability targets simultaneously. Effective management ensures continuity for clients and smooth delivery despite the often challenging regulatory and planning environment in London and the Home Counties.
Atico Solutions recognises that strong leadership with a clear vision for sustainability and stakeholder engagement is critical in advancing projects through planning and construction phases efficiently. As development pressures rise in London, Greater London, and counties such as Kent and Buckinghamshire, having experienced project management at the helm helps mitigate risks and align outcomes with both client expectations and policy frameworks.
