Former trainee promoted to director role

Construction consultancy Armsons Barlow has announced the appointment of a new associate director.

Paul Hanson originally joined Barlow & Associates, which merged with Armsons last year, in 1991 as a trainee quantity surveyor.

During his time with the firm, he has delivered a variety of schemes for a range of clients and worked in a number of different roles including quantity surveyor, employer’s agent, bank monitoring surveyor, project manager and party wall surveyor.

In his new role as associate director, Paul will assume several new responsibilities, including managing a small team of surveyors and leading the companies’ services on a portfolio of schemes for one of their key clients.

Paul said: “The merger of Armsons and Barlow & Associates is proving to be an exciting time, and I am enjoying being part of a larger team and sharing experiences.”

Josh Toon, director of Armsons Barlow, said: “This appointment reflects the significant contribution Paul has made to the firm over the past three decades.

“Over the past 30 years, Paul has gained an unrivalled level of experience, working on a diverse range of major projects for both private and public sector clients and he is set to take on more responsibility in his new role as a senior member of the team.”
