Terry A'Hearn joins WSP Environment & Energy

Melbourne, 7 October 2010: Terry A'Hearn has joined WSP Environment & Energy (WSP) as

London-based Director of WSP's new business area focused on Government and Business

Innovation.


In this new global role, A'Hearn will use his experience in regulatory reform and working with

business leaders on commercially beneficial sustainability to help governments and their

agencies to:


reduce the costs of running their policy and regulatory programs and create stronger

environmental outcomes

slash red tape for business in a way that cuts business costs, creates quicker regulatory

compliance and stronger environmental results

use environmental programs to generate benefits in other portfolios such as industry and

education, creating greater social return for every government dollar invested


Outside the regulatory field, A'Hearn will also work with businesses across the world to develop

strategies and actions which unlock the enormous commercial opportunities in improving

environmental performance and tackling climate change. Engaging with WSP's specialists in this

evolving space, A'Hearn will use his expertise to provide clients with real world solutions that

provide commercial benefit.


"Everyone talks about sustainability, but few put it into practice. I've worked with companies who

have turned environmental management from a cost imposition into a driver of commercial

opportunities and profit growth. I'm looking forward to helping WSP's business clients get a jump

on their competition by doing just that." A'Hearn said on joining WSP.
