On the move – the latest East Midlands hires

The Planning and Development department at a Leicestershire-based estate agency and chartered surveyor has expanded its team of chartered town planners after one of its staff completed a two year assessment.

Adam Murray, a planner at the Market Harborough office of Andrew Granger & Co. has passed Royal Town Planning Institute’s (RTPI) Licentiate Assessment of Professional Competence (L-APC) which means he has been elected as a Chartered Member of the RTPI.

Stephen Mair, a director at Andrew Granger & Co. acted as Murray’s sponsor and corroborator during the process. “Adam’s chartered status proves his skills and professionalism as a Planner,” said Mair. “We are delighted for him and know that his new accreditation will greatly enhance his importance to the company as a key figure in our busy planning department.”
