The consultant said it wants to grow this part of its business in the coning years and has brought in Phillip Ankers as a partner to head up the division.

Ankers has arrived from Pulse Consult, where he spent four years, and will be based in Rapleys’ Bristol office.

We will continue to grow building consultancy both in terms of the range of services and skills we offer clients, and in our national coverage with more hires on the horizon.”
