“We are fortunate to have invested in our own building surveying function several years ago, which is highly regarded by all our conservation clients. Andrew has played a huge role in developing our reputation in this field and we are delighted to be able to promote him to an associate director, a role which befits his contribution and potential.”

Commenting on his promotion, Andrew said: “I am thrilled to have been made associate director. I joined Howarth Litchfield from school when I was 18 and I have been supported in my career development ever since. Howarth Litchfield’s flair for design, combined with its heritage and building surveying services, are proving a winning formula.”
