We're pleased to announce that Brookbanks has appointed Andrew Thorley as Operations and Executive Director.
Andrew joins from Taylor Wimpey UK Ltd where he has worked since 2005 in a range of Land, Strategic Land, Planning, and Major Project director roles across the North West, Midlands, South East and Yorkshire.
In his new role Andrew will work throughout the Company across the high quality range of major projects being delivered by Brookbanks for its clients across the UK.
Paul Boileau, Managing Director of Brookbanks said:
“This is a really exciting time for the Company, and I am proud to be heading up a strong management team who are delivering an ambitious development and business plan. This year is set to be an extremely positive one for Brookbanks Consulting.”
Brookbanks was established in 1997 and offers multidisciplinary professional services, focused on the promoters and deliverers of major development, property and infrastructure projects across the UK, driving projects from initial feasibility through planning, implementation and into operation.
As 2025 draws to a close, the planning industry finds itself at a pivotal moment. The latest Brookbanks podcast brings together leading voices from across the sector to reflect on whether this year delivered the transformation promised, and what lies ahead as we move into 2026.
When it comes to large-scale development, policy is the easy part. The real challenge? Turning planning requirements into deliverable masterplans that survive detailed design and actually work on the ground. That was the focus of our recent webinar, where we shared practical insights from the Brightwell Lakes project near Ipswich, a 2,000-home scheme shaped by complex ground conditions, mineral extraction, and sensitive transport corridors.
In this episode of the Brookbanks podcast, Danny Lloyd-Jones and Jack Kenny from Brookbanks join Guy Kippen of Prime Plc to explore the evolving landscape of healthcare development in the UK. Together, they discuss innovative approaches to improving NHS infrastructure and creating better environments for staff and patients.
