A Thames Valley planning and development consultancy firm has announced two new appointments as it plans to expand.
Lichfields, which has offices in Apex Plaza says it has seen strong demand for services, leading it to welcome the new team members.
Florence Leung and Caitlin Attrill will be joining as planners and be based in Reading.
Ms Leung has a background in journalism, working in Hong Kong before undertaking an MSc in urban and regional planning at the University of Sheffield.
And Ms Attrill is studying for her MSc in Spatial Planning and Development at University of Reading while working for Lichfields on a part-time basis.
The pair will work on major public and private sector projects, and receive support through the company’s’ graduate programme and Royal Town Planning Institute mentorship.
The recruitment follows on from the recent appointment of associate director Ed Rehill and planning director Nick Kirby.
Daniel Lampard, senior director and Head of the Thames Valley office, said: “We are experiencing strong growth and success, working on a range of exciting projects across the Thames Valley, and are pleased to be expanding the team in response to this.
“Florence and Caitlin will be great additions to our team, bringing more depth to our services as our workload increases off the back of an expanding portfolio of work.”
Lichfield was founded in 1962, and is this year celebrating its 60th anniversary.
