I’m working with a confidential client (one of the UK’s most respected property consultancies) to appoint an Associate Director of Planning— a key strategic hire for their growing team.
With a heritage spanning over a century and a nationwide network of offices, this business combines deep local expertise with a truly national and international platform, advising on everything from strategic land and development through to high-value estates and investment projects.
