'''Atkins''' was a British multinational construction, design, engineering and business services company. It was formerly listed on the London Stock exchange and had a London headquarters. In July 2017 the company was bought by SNC-Lavalin a £2.1 billion deal.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Lampert|first=Allison|date=20 April 2017|title=Canada's SNC-Lavalin to buy WS Atkins in C$3.6 billion deal|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ws-atkins-m-a-snc-lavalin-idUSKBN17M2OU|access-date=15 January 2021|website=reuters}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=5 July 2017|title=SNC-Lavalin closes WS Atkins acquisition|url=https://www.canadianconsultingengineer.com/companies-people/snc-lavalin-closes-ws-atkins-acquisition/1003405657/|access-date=15 January 2021|website=Canadian Consulting Engineer}}</ref> The new group was subsequently renamed AtkinsRéalis in 2023.
The company was founded as W. S. Atkins & Partners by Sir William Atkins in 1938. It experienced rapid growth following the Second World War, performing specialist services in town planning, engineering sciences, architecture and project management. The firm was admitted to the London Stock Exchange in 1996, trading under the name WS Atkins plc for a time before rebranding as Atkins during 2002. While Atkins largely focused on the UK market during its formative years, it has grown into an international firm with a global presence, as well as expanded into a wide range of sectors, including aerospace and high speed railways.
By 2016, Atkins had become the UK's largest engineering consultancy, as well as the world's 11th largest global design firm.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atkinsglobal.com/en-GB/about-the-group/atkins-at-a-glance |title=Atkins at a glance |work=atkinsglobal.com |access-date=24 August 2016}}</ref> It employed approximately 18,000 staff based in 300 offices across 29 countries and had undertaken projects in over 150 countries. The firm's motto was "Plan, Design, Enable".
