Article Abstract:
WS Atkins, the largest multidisciplinary consultancy in the UK, has a very professional approach and some interesting expansion plans, according to Frances Heaton, director of merchant bank Lazard Brothers and a non-executive director of WS Atkins. She is able to liaise between the board of Atkins, its adviser and institutional shareholders, and sees a number of similarities between merchant banking and consulting engineering. She was selected partly to boost public confidence in Atkins, and the fact that she had no experience of the sector was not a problem.
