Turley appoints senior director

Planning and development consultancy Turley has appointed Mark Underwood as senior director, planning and head of London. Underwood, who was previously head of planning at Deloitte, brings 25 years of experience in delivering built environment projects across a range of sectors in the UK. In his new role, Underwood will oversee Turley’s London office, which offers planning, economics, EIA, strategic communications, sustainability and heritage, landscape and townscape services. He will also continue to drive the company’s growth plans across the capital and will have a wider national role in delivering its objectives nationally. The move follows the appointment of Alex Christopher as head of planning, London, in 2021. Underwood said: “Transparency and accountability are clearly ingrained in the Turley culture and underpin a strong market presence.” Dave Trimingham, chief executive at Turley, said: “Mark joins us at an exciting time in London. Our team has just moved offices and continues to grow in terms of service offering, team size and progression. “With his expertise across commercial, residential, and major mixed-use regeneration projects across London and the UK, we are excited about how Mark will support and strengthen our established position in these markets and beyond.” To send feedback, e-mail chante.bohitige@eg.co.uk or tweet @bohitige Image courtesy of PR
