After 40 years with us, Robert Grayson, managing director of AHR Building Consultancy Ltd, has announced his retirement from the practice at the end of 2022.
Robert, together with Malcolm Ellis MBE, founded the building consultancy practice in 1987 and has been instrumental in delivering it’s strategic plan across the UK. He has led the successful development into a national practice, providing first class, professional services to a wide range of public and private sector clients.
Robert will be succeeded by Allan Hunt who will take over the position of managing director from 1st January 2023. Allan, who joined the practice in 1992 and became a director in 2003, brings with him a wealth of experience to bring to the role.
We would like to thank Robert for everything he has achieved at the practice and wish him a long and happy retirement.
My time at AHR has been a real pleasure and a privilege and over 40 years the business has gone from strength to strength. Each day has been full of comradeship, inspiration and opportunity for myself and the fantastic people I have worked with. Long may this continue for everyone.”
Robert Grayson
