Owen Lokuciejewski-Taylor has also taken on a new role at JPG Group, securing a promotion to Associate Director to lead the new Strategic Land team. With considerable expertise in geological sciences and remediation of the UK's coal mining legacy, Owen is identified as a rising star at JPG with great potential for leadership and strategic support to clients.
Owen is already leading the integration of the latest BIM software across the company into the Strategic Land team and provides a valued high level, early stage assessments of sites to identify commercial and sustainable development options.
Both Robert and Owen join a strong management team supporting Directors David Allwood and Matthew Potter who continue to assume more responsibility for the strategic direction of the business and overall client servicing. Chris Harding continues to run the business operationally as Managing Director.
Commenting on the recent appointments, Chris Harding said: "We are delighted to bolster the management team at JPG with Roberts return and a much-deserved fast track promotion for Owen. Alongside David and Matthew, we now have very strong leadership team in place to continue our long legacy and remain a valued, long term, strategic partner to our clients."
