We have brought together four of the industry’s leading figures to help drive our presence in the marketplace. The Advisory Board will act as advisors and ambassadors for our Planning Division, working alongside the planning leadership team to help cement our position as the UK’s leading planning consultancy.
The Planning Advisory Board will include:
As recognised industry figures with deep expertise, the Advisory Board will also play an instrumental role in aiding the development of all team members, from graduate through to senior director level.
John Chubb - CEO, RPS Consulting UK & Ireland, said: “We’re delighted to launch our Planning Advisory Board and welcome these industry-leading experts to the business, in what is a significant and planned strategic step. They all possess a wealth of knowledge and experience which crosses the public and private sector divide. Using their market knowledge, the Advisory Board will also help to shape our growth plans across the regional markets we are targeting.”
The news follows our recent appointment of Faraz Baber, who joined RPS last month as the Operations Director for our Midlands and South East Planning teams. He will be combining the existing regional planning teams to offer our clients an even greater proposition.
Paul Willmott - RPS Managing Director - Planning, adds: “The formation of the Planning Advisory Board is the next piece of the jigsaw following the appointment of Faraz to the team. It’s a very exciting period of growth for the planning division. Liz, Pam, John and Stuart will be enormous assets in helping to drive the business forward, nurturing thought leadership, but also giving our young professionals the opportunity to engage, learn and develop from four hugely influential industry stalwarts.”
“We are fully committed to building up our planning offer across the UK and today’s announcement is another big step towards that”.
