History

The firm was established by Horace W Langdon in Holborn in 1919.[1] He was joined by Tom Every in 1921 and the firm became Horace W Langdon & Every.[1] The firm became Langdon Every & Seah in 1969 when the contribution by Seah Mong Hee in the Far East was recognised.[1]

In 1988 the firm merged with Davis Belfield & Everest (a firm formed in 1931 by Owen Davis who was joined in 1935 by John Belfield and in 1944 by Bobbie Everest) becoming Davis Langdon & Seah International.[2] In July 2007 it merged with the Mackenzie Partnership, a large Scottish-based practice.[3]

In 2009 Davis Langdon acquired DEGW, an international strategic consultancy.

In 2010 Davis Langdon was acquired by AECOM.
