SLR Announces Executive Appointment in Asia Pacific

Leading environmental and advisory firm SLR Consulting has announced the appointment of Paul Gardiner to lead the company’s Asia Pacific operations.

Former Cardno Asia Pacific General Manager Paul Gardiner will commence in the role from January 2017 after 19 years in a variety of roles in Australia, the Middle East, United States and Latin America.  During his time with the company he led several acquisitions and was instrumental in the growth of the firm with several local and international milestone projects secured under his leadership.

After a number of successful years leading the SLR team in the region, the current Asia Pacific Regional Manager, Peter Georgiou, is taking on a new role in the company encompassing both local client and global leadership responsibilities. 

Group CEO Neil Penhall also commented:

“‘I’d like to welcome Paul to SLR as APAC Regional Manager but also thank Peter for his contribution in the role over recent years. Paul’s appointment adds significantly to our leadership team in the region.  We have an exciting growth strategy in all our regions over the coming years and attracting someone of Paul’s calibre to the SLR team will further enhance our ability to bring this strategy to life in APAC.”

Commenting on his move to SLR Paul remarked:

“I am excited by SLR’s position as a leading global provider of specialist environmental and advisory services.  I was particularly drawn by the highly collaborative and supportive “one team” culture which has underpinned their recent successful growth achieved during difficult market conditions”.

This announcement follows the recent appointment of Dianne Buchanan as Chief Financial Officer in September and Rick Smith as the North America Chief Operating Officer.
