Lanpro has appointed Liam Podbury as an associate director within the historic environment team, based out of its York office.
Liam brings extensive experience across the full range of built heritage and archaeological projects, providing informed, pragmatic and clear advice to facilitate development across a range of sectors.
Liam joins from Wardell Armstrong LLP (part of SLR) where he was principal heritage consultant. Prior to this, Liam worked for Archaeological Solutions, Emmerson Critchley Limited and the National Heritage Training Group.
