Ricardo

Over the last few years, Ricardo has been reorienting its business to become a leading strategic and engineering consultancy firm, focused on its EE and Rail portfolio. Under WSP’s ownership, Ricardo will continue its ongoing strategic review of the A&I and PP business units. While no firm decisions have been taken, the outcome of the strategic review is likely to result in a sale of the A&I and PP businesses at the appropriate time.
