A chartered town planner, Simon’s experience includes advising clients in the public and private sectors on spatial and strategic planning, employment land, economic regeneration, development and estate strategy.
Mark has joined CBRE as a senior town planner from Arup, in London, where he became a chartered town planner and worked for three years on a variety of planning policy and development management projects for public and private sector clients.
Martin Guest, managing director of CBRE’s Birmingham office, said: “Our planning and development team has an excellent reputation in the city, advising on a number of significant residential and mixed-use developments and transport infrastructure projects, including New Garden Square, in Edgbaston, and the HS2 Interchange, Solihull.
