We are pleased to announce the promotion of Aya Mohamed to the role of Planner at David Lock Associates. This recognition is a result of Aya achieving Chartered Member status with the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and her valuable work as an Assistant Planner.
We are also delighted to announce the new appointment of three Assistant Planners to our practice. William Howarth joins us after completing his MSc in Spatial Planning at University College London (UCL). Sara Kalayeh joins with an MSc in Planning from The University of Manchester, and Rainie Mok from The University of Sheffield having completed her MA in Urban Design and Planning.
We look forward to seeing Aya’s continued growth as a Planner at DLA, and supporting our new graduates as they embark on their planning careers.
