Turley hires from GVA

Nick Graham has joined Turley as a senior planner in its fast growing Manchester office, now 66 strong.

Graham joined the practice this month from GVA where he was principal planner, specialising in residential applications with a background in strategic site promotion. He was previously a planner at Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners.

Stephen Bell, Turley office director in Manchester, said: "Nick's appointment further cements Turley's position as the largest multi-service planning team in the North West. Our policy to continue to hire the very best people will be felt directly by our clients across the residential, commercial and infrastructure sectors."

Graham's appointment was the eleventh this year at Turley's Manchester office.

The recent expansion follows a series of strategic hires over the last two years, which saw service-leads Steve Bell, Richard Laming and Jaimie Ferguson join the Manchester office.

Bell concluded: "Our ambitions for growth and the expansion of our services, both regionally and nationally, make Turley an exciting place to be right now. The depth and quality of our planning, engagement, heritage, economics and design teams is what sets us apart with Nick's hire representing a further commitment to our clients in the region."
