Planning specialist Turley has appointed three senior Directors to help meet demand for its full-service planning expertise across the UK.

Mat Jones has been made a Senior Director and joins the national leadership team, as well as continuing to lead Turley's growing presence across the Midlands.

In addition, Stephen Taylor has been named National Head of Sesign and will lead the company's urban design team to drive further expansion of its service across the UK.

Emma Dickson has also been appointed to a Director role in Turley's strategic communications team and will work out of Manchester to help clients handle all stakeholder and political communication aspects of planning and development.


Dave Trimingham, Managing Director at Turley, said the appointments "are another step in our strategy for maximising the growth of our key service areas across the UK".

"The appointment of Mat Jones as another senior director not only provides a significant boost to our highly-regarded service offering in Birmingham and the Midlands, but adds to strength in depth of our national leadership team.

"We are delighted to announce Stephen as our national head of urban design. He will lead further growth of our integrated masterplanning and design services.

"The promotion of Emma Dickson provides further impetus for the growth of our strategic communications team following the appointment earlier this year of Nick Jones to lead our offering.

"It is a tremendously exciting time for the business, and expanding our senior team creates further opportunities for growth and diversification of our full-service offer."
