Turley Associates becomes Turley

Planning and design consultancy Turley Associates has dropped the second part of its name and will now be known simply as Turley.

Turley Associates celebrated its 30^th anniversary in 2013. The rebrand will see its name shortened to Turley, alongside a fresh logo, and a new website. There are 60 people in Turley's Manchester office.

Rob Lucas, chief executive of Turley, said: "We have reshaped our business over the last year and have been planning for growth. Our perspective is positive and confident about the future. I am pleased to be able to announce this fresh look and new approach to promoting our services, which encompass planning, design, heritage, economics, sustainability and engagement."

Turley is one of the longest established planning consultancies in the country and is co-owned by its 200 employees. It advises clients in a range of sectors including residential, retail, business space, education, health, energy, transport, leisure and sport.
