His impact: ✅ Turned a £199m loss into a £287m profit ✅ Steered Balfour through Covid without shutting sites ✅ Won massive projects like HS2 & Hinkley Point C Quinn calls it “the best job in the best industry” - and his work transformed not just Balfour Beatty but the entire sector.

He did a great job turning QinetiQ around, and it was a privilege to work for him.
He was and is my change and transformation hero, nobody did it like Leo, I loved his five penny rule to himself and such a Gentleman.
He has done a great job and should be held up as an example to other CEOs
Agreed, Leo is a great leader!
