Announcement posted by The PR Group 25 Oct 2010

Brisbane, Australia, 25 October 2010 - Currie & Brown (Australia), the Australian provider of independent cost and contract management services, is today changing its name to Aquenta Consulting. The announcement comes towards the end of a busy calendar year for Currie & Brown (Australia) following its acquisition by AMEC, the international engineering and project management company, in January this year.

“We are delighted with the new brand for Currie & Brown (Australia) which clearly aligns with our own aspirations as a business that encourages, excites and inspires,” said Robert McCallum, managing director of Aquenta Consulting. “The new name and image recognises our origins in quantity surveying while reflecting the excellent levels of service and high-quality staff and customers that underpin our Australian business.”

Aquenta Consulting is launching its new brand to customers and staff through a range of state- based events to be held over the next three weeks. Mr McCallum expressed his excitement at the national launch: “We believe that our success is down to the support and loyalty of our extensive client base and the industry-leading services provided by our world-class team. We are thrilled to have them involved in every aspect of our launch.”

Aquenta Consulting will operate as a stand-alone business within AMEC's business consulting group, delivering an impartial service to local, regional and global customers based in Australia. It will continue to provide a range of cost management services across key industries that include oil and gas, mining, building, utilities and transport. Mr McCallum added: “We have always been at the cutting edge of our industry and I’m pleased that we can now really demonstrate those levels of knowledge and innovation through our brand. This new wave of energy will propel our business into its next phase of growth.”

The rebrand is part of the original agreement with the parent company when AMEC acquired Currie & Brown (Australia).
