We are thrilled to announce that Deirdra Armsby has joined LCA on a consultancy basis as a Senior Advisor.
Deirdra has had a long and distinguished career as a senior strategic leader in Local Government with service leads in planning, building control, regeneration and place shaping roles. Most recently she was Director of Town Planning and Building Control at Westminster City Council and before that she was Director of Regeneration and Planning at the London Borough of Newham, having also worked at Hackney Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.
We have known Deirdra a long time, and she will be able to bring real insight to both our team and our clients. We are not asking Deirdra to be providing clients with planning advice, but she will bring a great depth of understanding to how Councils approach a challenge or client proposition, and in helping train and develop members of the LCA team.
Deirdra will be part of the LCA team at UKREiiF in Leeds later this month so for those that are there do come and say hello to her, and she can be contacted at deirdra.armsby@thisislca.com.
