In addition, David Brocklehurst joins as an Associate and Tom Baker joins as a Principal, both to be based in GVA’s Newcastle office.
These latest appointment take the PDR’s northern planning presence to over 30 qualified planning, funding and development specialists, with 15 located in Manchester, 10 in Leeds and a team of 8 in Newcastle.
On the appointments, Iain Jenkinson, Senior Director for PDR in the north of England, said: “We are delighted with the new appointments which are a clear statement of the commitment that GVA has for the UK regions.
