Julian takes a partnership approach to projects and firmly believes that development can benefit everyone if done correctly.

He has worked for retailers and retail landlords, infrastructure and renewable energy generators, and most recently has been delivering strategic communications support around strategic housing allocations, estate regeneration, town centre developement and planning applications.
