What our co-owners think

Thomas Feild, Assistant Planner

At Turley, there is a real emphasis on enabling graduates to gain early experience from a variety of projects. It is so rewarding for me to look back at what I have been involved in during my first year here, and how much I have learnt each day from the supportive and invested team.

Ffion Middleton, Senior Planner

After completing my dissertation on women’s safety in public spaces, I have been able to present to the Leadership Team and work with other co-owners to set up an internal group to look at issues of gender inclusivity in the built environment. Although I am at the beginning of my career, I am consistently supported and encouraged by my co-owners .
